Children in the Netherlands ages 1 to 11 who have medical needs “without prospect of improvement” are legally permitted to have their lives “terminated.” The first case of parents choosing to end their child’s life was a 1-year-old diagnosed with infantile spasms syndrome. An online commenter wrote, “We don’t know what it’s like to have a child with this diagnosis, so we can’t say anything about it.” “But I do,” writes Kayla Craig. “A child with the same diagnosis (and similar disabilities) as my own daughter, Eliza, died—not from natural causes or a horrific accident but by choice. Her parents, surely overwhelmed by fear and exhaustion, chose euthanasia to end their child’s life. Disability, no matter how profound, does not and will not ever make us less human. … As Christians, we don’t assent to eugenics, because we proclaim that our being made in the image of God isn’t contingent on whether we speak to communicate or whether we check off boxes on a developmental survey. The imago Dei insists that *every* life, no matter the diagnosis or delay, bears the image of the one who gives each breath. Eliza exists because God breathed life into her. Her on-fire brain and disabled body were made in the image of God. And so was that other little one. The medical report didn’t list his or her name, so we can’t know it. What a comfort that God does.” Read the rest at the link in the comments.
