Belgium
Belgium enters the wiki through 119.安乐死现场:正因生命如此珍贵 as the assisted-death comparison case where the episode says euthanasia can extend to psychiatric patients and minors under complex processes. The source uses Belgium to make the hard edge of Assisted Dying Safeguards visible: terminal physical illness is not the only possible eligibility boundary.
The Belgian material is presented through opposing views as well as suffering cases. A father whose daughter died by suicide sees prohibition as inadequate, while a bioethics opponent argues that psychiatric patients need support, care, and treatment rather than assisted death.
