A leading expert has issued a stark warning about a rapidly expanding global push to begin euthanizing children.
In a bombshell report, investigative journalist Asra Nomani sounds the alarm about a chilling campaign to normalize the euthanasia of minors.
The new investigation exposes the international network driving the push.
In the report, Nomani uncovers what she describes as a multimillion-dollar global industry to target children.
Nomani calls this coordinated movement, which seeks to urge children to embrace euthanasia, “Assisted Suicide Inc.”
“A Fox Digital investigation reveals opponents of euthanasia face a multimillion-dollar global lobby that could be called Assisted Suicide Inc. — a sprawling network changing laws worldwide, developing euthanasia services for funeral parlors, selling ‘suicide pods,’ promoting ‘suicide tourism’ and even training ‘doulas for death,’” Nomani wrote.
Her report, titled “‘Untold Damage’: Global Assisted Suicide Movement Targets Children,” documents how well-funded advocacy groups are now campaigning to extend assisted suicide laws to minors.
A Growing Global Industry
Nomani found that Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, Colombia, Luxembourg, Spain, New Zealand, Australia, and 11 U.S. states already permit euthanasia or “physician-assisted suicide” under various conditions.
Alarmingly, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Colombia have expanded those laws to include so-called “mature minors.”
However, this vague term of “mature minors” does not specify ages for children, leaving it open to interpretation.
“These groups have a presence on every continent,” Nomani reported, “but are predominantly found in the West, which also faces alarmingly low birth rates.”
She identified 41 organizations in Europe, 31 in North America, and 13 in Oceania, many of which receive major institutional funding.
Targeting Youth Through Policy and Language
Advocates are now using terms like “mature minors” to justify expanding euthanasia to children under 18.
The National Youth Rights Association in the U.S. and the British Columbia Humanist Association in Canada are among the groups campaigning for minors to be eligible for “assisted suicide.”
Critics warn that this language mirrors tactics used in other controversial social movements, reframing moral and medical boundaries as “rights” while concealing the devastating long-term impact.
In Canada, the “Dying with Dignity” organization reported nearly $3 billion in expenses in 2024, including over $800,000 in promotional spending, to push for expanding access to euthanasia for minors.
The Numbers Tell the Story
Nomani’s research reveals a rapidly expanding industry:
In Canada, roughly 15,000 people died in 2023 through Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), the government’s euthanasia program.
The figure marks a 16% increase from 2022 and makes euthanasia the fifth leading cause of death in the country.
In the Netherlands, where euthanasia has been legal since 2002, the practice accounted for 9,958 deaths in 2024, representing 5.8% of all deaths nationwide.
Dutch law permits doctors to euthanize children as young as one year old, including newborns “suffering unbearably with no prospects of improvement.”
In Belgium, six minors have requested euthanasia since it was legalized for children in 2014.
These figures show how quickly assisted suicide laws can expand once normalized, first for terminally ill adults, then for non-terminal cases, and now, increasingly, for minors.
From Compassion to Commerce
Experts warn that what began as a “compassionate choice” has evolved into a profit-driven industry.
Nomani’s findings show that euthanasia services are now marketed alongside funeral planning and “death tourism” packages, commodifying life-and-death decisions for financial gain.
The expansionary nature of what critics call the suicide industry echoes the trajectory of other highly politicized social causes.
Each new legal “exception” becomes a stepping stone toward broader acceptance and broader markets.
As more governments adopt euthanasia as a medical option, ethical boundaries are eroding.
What once was framed as an individual choice for the terminally ill is now being redefined as a “right” for anyone, including vulnerable young people.
A Global Crossroads
The rise of Assisted Suicide Inc. underscores a deeper moral and social crisis: the increasing willingness of institutions and policymakers to treat death as a solution.
Nomani’s investigation reveals that this global movement is coordinated, well-funded, and expanding rapidly.
What’s being presented as compassion for the suffering is, in practice, an institutional endorsement of despair, and a dangerous shift in how societies define dignity, care, and the value of human life.
