The Netherlands is not the USA.

Soon enough it won't be the Netherlands, either.

Don't be stupid. You're acting as if her life was taken against her will. She wanted to die. She went through a two-year application process so she could die with dignity and safely, not suffer from a botched job in an alley or splattering on a sidewalk traumatizing bystanders.

She committed suicide and used a doctor to do it.

And WTF is with your thinking that you find a lethal act to be 'safe'?

What an awful story.

I guess I thought of assisted suicide as an option for those suffering terminal physical illness/condition. I didn't consider mental anguish to a level such as this that would lead one to choose euthanasia. I had understood that a person suffering from severe depression would not be deemed fully capable of making that choice if they are not of sound mind.

In a way, it makes being a victim of sexual abuse a victim twice.

People can suffer from depression and still be of sound mind. The two aren't necessarily related. Depression is an emotional state not a cognitive state.

Actually, I can totally understand and accept that.

Hmmmmm.....

Sort of.

So killing the victim instead of treating her is 'reason'?

I only hope you get the same reasonable treatment and soon.

Exactly. Thank you.
How come stage 4 cancer patients, doped up to the gills on opiods, are perfectly fine making that same decision (we're talking 'hopeless cases...'), but an anorexia patient who cannot be cured, is a 'government guinee pig'?
Anorexia doesnt kill or something? She ended her suffering before she completely wasted away.
However sad the story, good for her. I hope she finds peace.

FTFY
