A physically healthy 28-year-old Dutch woman has decided to legally end her life due to her struggles with crippling depression, autism and borderline personality disorder, according to a report.

Zoraya ter Beek, who lives in a small village in the Netherlands near the German border, is scheduled to be euthanized in May — despite being in love with her 40-year-old boyfriend and living with two cats.

Ter Beek, who once aspired to be a psychiatrist, has been dealing with mental health struggles throughout her life.

One’s life belongs to God. We didn’t create ourselves, God created us. We don’t have a “right” to murder ourselves. And the “doctor” is a murderer as well.

SamAdams76 is right. If you're too busy trying to survive, you're not going to find the time to get depressed.

Did our ancestors get depressed? They were too busy trying to figure out how they're going to get something to eat.

Her boyfriend must be a real loser, the original cuck.

Pump her up with fentanyl. The happy boys in the ghetto swear by it.

The least she could do is set up a heart transplant and/or lung transplant for someone in need. Wheel two patients into the O.R. next to her. Cut out her beating heart and instantly sew it into a grateful person.

Next, strip out her lungs while there is still air in them and sew them into the patient struggling for breath.

Feed the scraps to the dogs. Everyone is happy.

She needs Ketamine, “Special K”, or some other hallucinogenic.

If you’re a Christian you’re supposed to accept the death that God sends to you. You have free will but I wouldn’t call going against God’s wishes a right. I’d call it a mistake.

"...despite being in love with her 40-year-old boyfriend and living with two cats."

A boyfriend and cats. Definitely schizo.

Yes, I could have worded it better but that is my basic point. A life that is too comfortable actually encourages depression.

Humans need challenges in their lives.

For instance, there is not a single successful novel (or movie) in which the main characters do not have to overcome some sort of adversity.

One of my younger brothers has a degree in Psychology. He’s the most effed up member of the family. Oh, and he fixes bicycles for a living. Just trashed his second marriage.

As of 1993, only 14% of medical oaths prohibited euthanasia, and only 8% prohibited abortion.[33]

Making a mistake is a right.
