Physically healthy woman, 28, decides to die by euthanasia after being told crippling depression will ‘never get better’
A PHYSICALLY healthy Dutch woman suffering from crippling depression has made plans to end her life by euthanasia today - on her 34th birthday.
"My father is sick, my mother is sick, my parents are fighting to stay alive, and I want to step out of life," she added. She described euthanasia as a "dignified and painless death" - and added that one can peacefully step out of life with their loved ones around them.EUTHANASIA, sometimes known as mercy killing, is the practice of intentionally ending someone's life to relieve their pain and suffering.Euthanasia is deliberately helping or encouraging someone to take their own life, for example by providing them with medicine to do so.
For terminally ill patients in the UK, the only alternatives are hospice care or refusing treatment, which mentally capable patients have the right to do.Euthanasia and dying is a controversial issue - with passionate campaigners on each side of the argument. Those in favour of euthanasia also point out that we euthanise our pets as an act of kindness - and resources could be put towards people who want to live, or whose conditions are curable.
Others also worry about the possibility of someone potentially recovering, or changing their mind when it's already too late.
