Belgian court acquits three doctors in landmark euthanasia case
Belgium is among a few countries that allow doctors to kill patients at their request, and one of two that allow it for people with a mental illness.

Prolifers suck.The three doctors were involved in the euthanasia of a 38-year-old patient, Tine Nys, who suffered with mental problems and died in 2010.
Her family took the case to court, arguing that the euthanasia should never have happened, claiming her mental state was not hopeless and treatment was still possible. Nys had struggled with psychiatric problems for years and had attempted suicide several times.
