Introduced to Laura, a young woman at the age of 24 years old, in good health (at least physically) However, in accordance with Belgian law, will put an end to her life in this summer it seems!
I got a young Belgian at the age of twenty-four-year-old, known only "in the name Laura" Laura, on approval by the Special State Committee, to end her life in spite of enjoying good health. Where the Commission considered that the girl "qualified" according to the special committee of the Belgian law and standards, an end to her life, and the only choose the right time for it now, knowing that they can dispense with this right at any moment they want.
The Laura started to suffer from severe bouts of depression and described "internal pain that never go away," he has said doctors previously that this life is not her, they were the result of unplanned pregnancies, and later moved to live with her grandparents, and when she turns the 21-year-old went to Foundation for the treatment of mental illness and stayed there. Laura explained that her thoughts of suicide was that inevitably accompany them did not face any problems even in childhood.
Laura and indicated that she had tried to commit suicide several times, but the sense that there is someone stopped by their need for it, they are aware that suicide would leave her grandparents and her mother for leaving her sad. She said she has a six-year-old grabbed pistols and destination to one of the same, but it was empty.
This was the girlfriend Laura've got the right to end her life 18 months ago, to insist from then Laura to take the right and catch up with them.
Choose death to life: right or what?
Allow several countries (Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and some US states) the termination of life and death choice of the individual law (or the so-called euthanasia) whether it is valid or sick, and after submission of the decision a special committee made up of doctors and counselors in the health sector, taking into account the personal status of individuals ,, this person who apply euthanasia in order to achieve specific criteria, namely:
- The request to end his life
- Be in excellent condition and mentality allows him to take such a decision.
- It agreed that this Aahs suffering physically or psychologically from the case can not be cured or mitigated.
"Euthanasia" - Whose is this life?
There is a lot of controversy so far on the subject of euthanasia and use it in some pathological cases impossible, so how in the event of use and apply it to people healthy and sound and physically?
Where he had agreed to Belgium on the law, which allows an end to life medically assisted in 2002, to a record since then about 1,400 suicides per year, including 60 who does not suffer from any physical illness can not be cured but the psychological condition severe can not be treated.
Usually it used "mercy death" When you reach a final case with the disease, meaning the impossibility of cure and the continued decline in the health status of the patient and suffering. But in this case it will be Laura using this right to end her life in spite of their enjoyment of health and wellness, which raises a number of questions and reservations. We participated in your opinion?
