Once euthanasia is legal, the expansion of the act is inevitable

The Politico published a pro-euthanasia article by Claudia Chiappa and Lucia Mackenzie on December 29, 2024. Chiappa and Mackenzie are suggesting that the legalization of euthanasia is inevitable but when they interview Theo Boer, a former member of a Netherlands euthanasia review committee he actually tells them that the expansion of euthanasia, once legal is inevitable. Boer states:

“I have seen no jurisdiction in which the practice has not expanded, not one single jurisdiction,”

“By imposing really strict criteria we can slow down the expansion … but they will not prevent the expansion.”
