Popis: If circumstances permit, we believe that the terminally ill and incurable child should be given the right to die at home. The child's disease, the physical and emotional strength of the parents, the number of children in the family, and the economic situation of the family must certainly be considered. There are some parents who could not face the problem at home and we do not feel that they should be forced to do so. Quite recently we had the sad experience of treating a 4½-year-old boy with neuroblastoma.
