If she was so depressed and suicidal then she would just kill herself. Not sure why people need doctors involved unless they're paralyzed or something. I agree with assisted suicide if you're unable to take your own life but not for depressed people. If they really was so depressed they wouldn't be waiting for a go ahead from doctors they'd just do it themselves asap.
Is this even normal? How do you feel about this, people?
In 2003 Belgium was the second country in the world to legalise euthanasia after Holland liberalised the law a year earlier, becoming the first country since Nazi Germany to permit the practice.
Over the past decade the numbers of Belgians dying by euthanasia has crept up incrementally.
There was a 25 per cent increase in the number of euthanasia deaths from 2011 to 2012, soaring from 1,133 to 1,432, a figure representing about two per cent of all deaths in the country.
In February Belgium extended euthanasia to children who are terminally-ill and in a state of unrelieved suffering.
I know this will be an unpopular opinion, but i do think it's a good thing to legalise euthanasia... Even for children..
You have the choice: non legalized euthanasia will result in people being in pain for a long time without hope for recovery because they have no legal way to end their pain PLUS an illegal circuit where MD's will euthanise people illegaly without any rules or controll mechanisms (plus some people that commit suicide, leaving a mess behind for their family members)...
On the other side you have legailised euthanasia: at least every step in the process is controlled by multiple doctors and ethical commitees, and the MD that performs the euthanasia is legally protected...
Ofcourse their will be individual cases that are debatable, but that doesn't mean that the general idear of legal euthanasia is wrong...

Belgian doctors give healthy woman, 24, green light to die by euthanasia because of 'suicidal thoughts'
Laura, 24, does not suffer from any terminal disease or physical illness
She told doctors who assessed her condition that 'life, that's not for me'
Five people a day currently die with the assistance of medics in Belgium
New figures show that euthanasia numbers have jumped by a third
Belgian doctors are planning to kill a perfectly healthy 24-year-old woman by euthanasia because she is suffering from 'suicidal thoughts'.
It is estimated that five people a day in Belgium die with the assistance of doctors, ranging from those with terminal illness to others with chronic, but not life threatening ailments.
Now, a woman, known only as the fictitious name Laura, has been told she qualifies for euthanasia, despite not having a terminal disease.
