I'm Dutch. It's not that easy. Maybe 0,5% of the people here on SS would make a change - MAYBE. They make it sound quite easy, but it really isn't. It's legal, but almost impossible.
I know it is frustrating but would it not help everyone if as many as possible try to apply ?
Wait, where did you read that?
Did she not also get morphine while she was starving ? I know it is stupid to leave that piece of info out of the article but I think it was medically supervised starving the whole 3 weeks.
What you learn in school is very different from what your bosses require of you in the real world though. If the journalists can't post stories very soon after other news outlets report them, they will be fired. Of course it's a flawed industry, but I wouldn't blame it on the individual journalists for trying to keep their jobs.
It's harsh but I do not like people hiding behind their need for a job when the whole world is going broke with corruption and capitalism and the consequence is global warming and overpopulation. And armed conflicts everywhere, everyone wants to be a drug dealer and cartells are everywhere and poverty and even starvation and drought and no access to clean water, food insecurity, rape and other forms of sexual assault against vulnerables etc etc. stuff that should have disappeared decades ago when we look at the expectation of the average citizen for improvement of the situation of the planet.
A 17-year-old girl who wrote a book about her struggle with mental illness after being molested and raped has been euthanized in the Netherlands, where she lived and assisted-suicide is legal.

Guys lets stay real. The woman was raped multiple times as a child (!!!!!!!! in this day and age, and NOT in a third world country, like when did we say the middle ages are over, and we have eradicated most diseases such as toxic masculinity "disorder") She did not have to hide her suicidal desires. but was ALLOWED to starve herself to death. And was helped along a little bit because this can take 6 or more months if you look at extreme survival cases. Apparently she was anorexic so that is another factoid that helps understand the situation (extremely problematic body image of herself). The other truth in the article is that she is actually dead or does anyone dispute that ? That sets a precedent. Lets not forget just last month in Quebec 2 persons were allowed to die with medical assistance, who were not terminally ill.
https://montrealgazette.com/news/qu...alidates-some-requirements-for-assisted-death. Dying with Dignity Canada is asking their membership to send petitions to the justice and health ministers. Let us not forget that many people receive medical assistance to die when it is illegal because of the empathy of certain individuals who feel called upon to end suffering and risk to be taken to court. We are not alone any more. All over the world the tipping point is getting closer. Take a look around and see if you cannot become more vocal about your needs, write petitions to change the laws etc. That is what I am doing right now while I am not as totally suicidal as I was a couple of months ago when I joined here.
Yeah like i said it was greedy media

Keep all of us posted Berlin76, is it possible to reapply when rejected ?
The article was surprisingly less slanderous than I expected from a Fox News article about euthanasia. Now I know why. Leave it up to them to get a story completely wrong just to push their own agenda.
Wasn't completely wrong. She applied, she was raped as a kid several times (90 percent of the world's sexual assault on women goes unreported and only a very small percentage of perpetrators get prison sentences. In India a woman who wanted to testify in court about her rape was killed by being set on fire, died of her injuries.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-50697139. There are almost 100 rapes per day in India alone. This is why I as a woman do not find it altogether entertaining to live on this planet...I might be next. I can see why people are suicidal after sexual assault. I actually do not know how you can NOT be suicidal after sexual assault.) The dutch girl, her name is Noa Pothoven, 17 years old. she must have been in therapy a few years, it did not work, she was allowed to die. She is dead.
https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-45117163 This article is about Aurelia Brouwers (29) Dutch, also allowed to die, she was given poison to drink.
