The Dutch Paediatric Association reports consensus among its members regarding the necessity to take the future quality of life into account when reaching decisions regarding the continuation or dis-continuation of life-prolonging treatment. The paramount importance of the discussion with the parents is stressed. Dissension exists regarding active euthanasia in the newborn, both opinions being respected. If dissension exists within the profession parents should be informed and if necessary referred to a doctor who shares their moral views.
荷兰儿科学会报告称,其成员就以下问题达成了共识:在就是否继续进行延长生命的治疗做出决定时,有必要考虑患儿未来的生活质量。该学会强调了与患儿父母进行讨论的至关重要性。对于新生儿主动安乐死存在分歧,但两种观点都受到尊重。如果业内存在分歧,应告知患儿父母,如有必要,可将他们转介给与他们持相同道德观点的医生。
