		Verhagen’s own desire to confront the issue was sparked by a dilemma involving a newborn baby with a severe and untreatable form of a rare inherited skin disease, epidermolysis bullosa.
		Recently Verhagen and Sauer described euthanasia as a measure against neonatal suffering (1,2) due to some causes, among which they cite a bad prognosis or the possibility of a low quality of life.

	Is euthanasia for babies ok? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Eduard Verhagen and Pieter J J. Sauer ask an important question: Are life-ending procedures for newborns acceptable, or should infants with severe disorders like spina bifida be kept alive even when their pain cannot be reduced?
		Verhagen and Sauer write that a Netherlands-wide survey of neonatologists revealed that 15-20 cases of euthanasia were committed every year, yet only an average of three were reported annually.
		Last year, Verhagen attempted to sway the Dutch government to legalize the practice, after submitting his “Groningen protocol” for determining the suitability of infant euthanasia in individual cases.

	WorldNetDaily: Dutch baby euthanasia warrants no prosecution
		Eduard Verhagen, a pediatrician at Groningen University Medical Center and one of the study's authors, is a well-known advocate of euthanasia.
		Currently, Dutch doctors who support Dr. Verhagen are regularly reporting "neo-natal" deaths to the national prosecutor's office in the Hague in an attempt to force a prosecution and confrontation over the practice in the courts.
		The lack of prosecution, thus far, is being used to support their claim that the practice is humane and that it should no longer be done in secret, but openly, with government protection for doctors.

		Dr Verhagen's argument rests largely on the claim that much infant 'mercy killing' is already taking place in the Netherlands.
		The protocol sets out guidelines for the killing of very ill newborns and infants: a team of experts in a hospital must agree that the child has no 'quality of life' and is beyond treatment; a team in another hospital must support that decision and the parents must consent.
		Dr Verhagen, a father of three, openly admits ending the lives of four babies with spina bifida in his 'care'.

		Dutch doctors are calling for a domestic legal framework that would allow them to end the lives of newborn babies suffering intolerable pain from incurable diseases, a move that rekindles the debate on the controversial issue of euthanasia.
		The protocol would concern only about 600 infants in the world and between 10 and 15 in The Netherlands, who are born for example without a brain, or with malformations that would require countless operations simply to achieve a temporary result that would not even relieve the child's suffering.
		The doctors are also pressing for the creation of a standing committee made up of two paediatricians, one jurist and one ethics expert that would advise the prosecutor on whether or not to sue a doctor who would have practiced this type of euthanasia.

		Verhagen argues that newborn euthanasia is still happening outside the Netherlands, it is just done in secret, meaning that it is unregulated and that the doctor risks a possible jail sentence for murder.

	The Anniston Star - Life and death decisions — Pulling back curtain on newborn mercy killings
		Eduard Verhagen and Pieter Sauer divide into three groups the newborns for whom decisions about ending life might be made.
		The only serious dispute is whether it is acceptable to end the life of infants in Verhagen and Sauer’s third group, that is, infants who are no longer dependent on intensive care for survival.
		To put this another way: The dispute is no longer about whether it is justifiable to end an infant’s life if it won’t be worth living but whether that end may be brought about by active means, or only by the withdrawal of treatment.

		A well-known advocate of euthanasia is Dr. Eduard Verhagen, a pediatrician at Groningen University Medical Centre.
		Verhagen was influential in creating the “Groningen Protocol,” a list of standards for performing and reporting euthanasia of newborns with serious or incurable deformities.
		Verhagen then commented that doctors “are trained to save the life of a child, but with these children, the suffering can only be stopped by ending their lives.

	The American Spectator
		When Verhagen was asked, "Is it just up to the parents?" he said, "No." But he quickly caught himself and magnanimously allowed that parents are "always very much involved." Ultimately, however, who lives or dies is the culture's decision, he said.
		Verhagen concluded on the thought that "the best way to protect life is to sometimes assist a little bit in death." This contradicted what he had said earlier when he stressed that "we are actually talking about children that are already in a dying process." No, they were not dying.
		In clean, well-lighted hospitals, Verhagen and doctors like him are committing barbaric acts no different from pagans of old leaving inconvenient children on hilltops.
