Let's be absolutely clear, euthanasia is not widespread anywhere. It's legal in a few jurisdictions, and it's not something that is taken lightly by any party involved. It's extremely rare for a young person to be granted euthanasia in the Netherlands, and only when the individual suffers without any hope for remit.

This lady has tried to be granted euthanasia for years now, after suffering from a serious disease for all her life. Without any treatment that helped her. In all those years, she has tried to cure herself of the disease, but to no consequence. I think she deserves to get what _she_ wants with dignity.

For years, I thought I'd tried everything. I was surrounded by people saying "you can't run for your problems."

I'm incredibly glad I decided to ignore them as a hail mary and I'm sure as shit glad I wasn't posting here. I'd be dead with people calling me brave and saying I died with dignity. Glad I lived to instead be shamed for encouraging people to explore other options before taking a final solution. It's impossible to be more self-destructive than the people saying this is great.

I'm very happy you're happy :-)

Unfortunately this is not the case for a very small minority of individuals who suffer without a cure. I prefer these people to go through their process with dignity, than to go for the other option.
