Dutch doctor faces trial in landmark euthanasia case

Dutch doctor faces trial in landmark euthanasia case A Dutch doctor has appeared in court after performing euthanasia on a patient suffering with severe dementia.

Prosecutors say the doctor did not do enough to verify consent. It is the first such case since the Netherlands legalised euthanasia in 2002.
