Woman Dealing With Depression, Anorexia Euthanized When Doctors Decide She Can’t Be Cured

Holland allowed a 20-something sexual abuse victim to be euthanized last year after doctors convinced her that treatment for her mental disorders was hopeless, according to The Daily Mail.

Euthanasia is a rampant problem in the Netherlands where it has been legal since 1973. Numerous reports indicate on-going abuses, including the killing of infants, the disabled and elderly without their consent.

Mentally ill patients also have been targeted for euthanasia. In the most recent case, the young woman was a victim of sexual assault who struggled with severe mental disorders, including post-traumatic stress, anorexia, chronic depression and hallucinations, according to the report. Along with being suicidal, she also had physical difficulties that kept her bedridden most of the time, the report states.

One psychiatrist told the young woman that her case had “no prospect or hope… The patient experienced her suffering as unbearable.” Despite a second doctor’s more positive outlook on her condition and recommendations for intense therapy, the young woman apparently gave up hope and allowed doctors to euthanize her about a year ago in Holland.

The Dutch Euthanasia Commission only recently released documents about her death, the report states. (Read more from “Woman Dealing With Depression, Anorexia Euthanized When Doctors Decide She Can’t Be Cured” HERE)
