Physically healthy Dutch woman, 28, decides to be euthanized due to crippling depression

The damn crazy people are taking over, but all I can say is that is one less we have to deal with.

Pretty sure what that lady needed was some love. Not lovin, although that would have probably helped too. But im talking about someone to love her. Someone to care about her and be there for her. Thats an absolute shame

Heartbreaking that someone would see death as a better alternative, especially since I think it would be fair to draw into question her faith.

I don't necessarily believe it is a better option - but, put them on an operating table and take their organs for those in need of a transplant. Perhaps some good would come from her death.

I think there is a few ancient cultures where this happened regularly. Maybe the old Japanese culture? I forget which ones it was but I think it was pretty common in some Asian cultures.

Looks like she has several psychological issues going on. Lots of suicidal people with the same issues, but unfortunately she’s making the news because her government gives her the option of taking her life instead of by her own hand. People in favor of euthanasia ignore the warnings of it becoming used for more and more things after it gets approved. At first, it’s only going to be for terminal and horribly handicapped people, then it eases into psychological issues like this lady, and eventually it’s used on people who didn’t volunteer for it. Don’t be surprised if there aren’t some in Congress talking daily about how much money could be saved from Social Security and Medicare if euthanasia was required at a certain age or the first expensive medical condition.

Yup, it is a shame. Life is a gift from God and she's otherwise healthy.

She needs a field trip to the hospital to see the dying patients then maybe she would realize how wrong she is

Depression is a killer. I'm sure the smart folks can explain the chemical imbalances in your brain that causes depression alls I know is that 40 MG of feel good every morning literally is a lifesaver for me. There is no "oh get over it and suck it up." When that pain hurts you just right you WILL want to stop it however you can. Each day is a struggle but the next day is a reward. Everyone knows our Healthcare system especially our mental health system is broken and needs improved but no one does anything I guess the money's too good to keep it Fubard. Depression is still a killer.

It has been said that "Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem."

Sad all the way around.

Better she harm herself than others. The fact that others are willing to go along with that bulldoodoo, that's where the real mental illness is.

Totally agree.

Precisely.

People have been committing suicide since the dawn of time. Only difference is she got help and it was legal.

She must not care much for her boyfriend

We, as a society, are moving away from God, and He is turning from us. He is allowing us our free will, and now our free will is costing us. It is getting worse and worse and will continue. If my people will turn to me…

I was thinking her boyfriend must not care much for her..

Dude I don't know what you're thinking here. We don't have time in today's world for human kindness! We got tik tok video to watch, fox News to see, and gotta figure who we're voting for cause if we don't the whole world will end. Absolutely no time for human kindness. Good thing it's everybody else's fault and not mine!

She suffers from borderline personality disorder. Which in essence means she doesn't have the capacity to attach to someone in a loving way. Speaking from the experience of being married to a woman who likely suffered from it, their life is not pleasant. Mine wasn't being with her, and while I sometimes still feel angry with her refusal to get help and save the relationship, it doesn't lessen the fact that being her is worse.

A borderline, if they will see a therapist, is so demanding, that therapists are told not to have more than 2 at any one time on their active client list. It is a very complex disorder.
