Two Belgian children, aged 11 and 9, have become the youngest in the world to be euthanized according to official reports released this week.
The unnamed minors were administered lethal injections in 2016 and 2017 respectively, in Belgium, the only nation allowing terminally ill children the decision to die.
Belgium amended its euthanasia laws in 2014, making it legal for doctors to terminate the lives of children, however young, deemed to have the mental capacity to make the decision, and the consent of their parents.
