Belgium: Nurses and Euthanasia [le blog de Jacqueline Jencquel]

Euthanasia by definition is an act which ends the life of a patient who has requested it. Terminal sedation is different, and is an accepted practice to relieve suffering.

It is normal for terminal sedation to be administered by a nurse on the direction of a doctor.

Nurses may assist a doctor in euthanasia.

The intentional administration of lethal doses of drugs at the end of life without the request of the patient is effectively, in our country as in others, illegal. It is only practiced exceptionally in cases of terrible suffering when a patient is in agony and is no longer capable of expressing his/her wishes. In those cases, it is not an act of euthanasia and if the judiciary takes up the case, the author of this act (whether a physician or a nurse) would only be able to justify the action in a ‘case of absolute necessity’. The Netherlands is the only country where such acts must be reported and placed in the public record. Theoretically, the court is then free to review the evidence but this is rarely or practically never done.
