Doctors in the Netherlands (荷兰) are allowed to help patients who choose to die. Ending a person's life in this way is called “euthanasia”.
However, a new law places strict controls on that. Both the patient and the doctor take part in the making of the decision.
Patients must have a terrible illness with no chance of cure. They must choose to die on their own. They must be suffering from “unbearable pains”.
Doctors must talk with at least one doctor who has dealt with euthanasia before. They must report the death to proper officials.
Some people refer to euthanasia as “mercy killing”. But not everybody views it that way. Some simply call it murder.
The lawmakers voted 90 to 45 in favor of (支持) “euthanasia”. Dr Herbert was pleased with the vote. He has already helped some patients kill themselves to get rid of their pains once for all. “A good-bye is painful, but it gives them a chance to say ‘I'm leaving,’” he said. “It can create moments of great closeness between people.”
Dr Karel Gunning said the practice went against his training as a doctor. “Killing is not part of medicine,” he said.
Gunning argues that the doctor's job is to make the person's pain bearable. He also has other fears. “Our society is moving very quickly from birth control to death control,” he said.
