Healthy 24-year-old woman to be euthanised in Belgium – An Update
By Alex Schadenberg, International Chair – Euthanasia Prevention Coalition
The
Belgian euthanasia insanity continues with the case of a 24-year-old
healthy woman (Laura) who will die by euthanasia this summer for
psychological reasons, now the Inquisitr has provided more information
on this horrific story.The June 19 DeMorgen article by Simone Maas explains (google translated):
She has good friends, loves good
coffee and theater. And she has felt that she wanted to die ever since
childhood. Laura (24): “Life, that’s not for me.” This summer,
euthanasia will end her life full of inner conflict, depression and
self-destruction.
I met the West Flemish Laura at
the presentation of the book ‘Libera me’ euthanasia for psychological
reasons. Writer Lieve Thienpont is one of the psychiatrists who gave
Laura a positive opinion for euthanasia.
Laura, a 24-year-old woman is
planning on dying this summer via euthanasia. Unlike many cases before,
Laura is not sick with cancer or dying. She simply has had suicidal
thoughts since childhood and claims, “Life, that’s not for me.”
Laura claims that she has been living with suicidal ideation since kindergarten. The medical news defines suicidal ideation as:
Suicidal thoughts, also known as
suicidal ideation are thoughts about how to kill oneself, which can
range from a detailed plan to a fleeting consideration and does not
include the final act of killing oneself. The majority of people who
experience suicidal ideation do not carry it through.
According to the Medical news suicidal ideation can be triggered by other suicides.Researchers reported in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) that suicide can be contagious .
Dr. Ian Colman, from the
Department of Epidemiology and Community Medicine and Canada Research
Chair in Mental Health Epidemiology, explained that one person’s suicide
can have an impact on another’s suicidal thoughts or behavior,
especially among teenagers.
He adds that the teenagers do not
necessarily have to be associated with the person who died by suicide
to start having suicidal thoughts or attempting to end his/her own life.
It appears that Laura’s suicidal ideation may be linked to the euthanasia death of Sarah. The Inquisitr stated:
Due to these issues, she began seeking treatment in a psychiatric institution over the last three years. Laura
says she first began considering euthanasia when she became friends
with another woman named Sarah, who also ended her life about a year and
a half ago. Now, Laura is also a candidate for euthanasia for
psychological reasons, which is when a patient is in mental pain and
wants to die.
That means, Laura may be treatable, but she has decided to only accept death as a “treatment.”
Similar to the euthanasia deaths of Godelieva De Troyer (64), a healthy Belgian woman who was living with depression or Ann G (44) who asked for euthanasia for psychological pain after being sexually exploited by her psychiatrist, Laura has been approved for lethal injection, even though she is physically healthy and only 24-years-old.
In March, the chairman of the federal euthanasia commission in Belgium admitted that 50 to 60 euthanasia deaths are done on psychiatric patients each year.
Similar cases are occurring in the Netherlands , where a report indicated there were 42 euthanasia deaths for psychiatric reasons and 97 euthanasia deaths for people with dementia in 2013.
