"BERLIN - Attempting to prod the government of the Netherlands to weigh in on an ongoing battle over expanding euthanasia, a group of senior Dutch doctors has reported itself to prosecutors for having 'killed' 20 newborns.

Dutch justice ministry officials had no comment last week on whether there would be any legal action in the cases. The doctors hope their move will prompt parliament to recognize officially that doctors have been euthanizing critically ill children beyond what Dutch law allows."
