Belgium’s euthanasia law under fire in European Court of Human Rights

For her son, Tom Mortier, a chemistry lecturer, it came as a terrible shock. He only found out on the day after her death. He has accused Distelmans of violating Belgium’s law on euthanasia. The case is now being considered by the European Court of Human Rights.
