A teenager who said she was raped by two men died by legal euthanasia in the Netherlands, it's emerged.
Noa Pothoven made a "sad last post" to social media last week in which she announced she would "die within 10 days".
The 17-year-old detailed her struggles with sexual assault, depression, and anorexia in her award-winning biography "Winning or Learning".
She wrote in her book that she was first assaulted at the age of 11 and raped by two men when she was just 14-years-old, facts she hid from her parents because she was ashamed.
In her last post on Instagram, the young girl wrote that she had stopped eating and drinking and that her suffering was "unbearable."
She wrote that her decision was "final" and that she had not been alive for a while.
"I breathe but no longer live," she wrote.
A patient in the Netherlands may receive physician-assisted suicide if they are "enduring unbearable and unendurable suffering", according to the Dutch life ending clinic the 17-year-old consulted.
Originally the clinic said she was too young, according to Dutch news outlet de Gelderlander's 2018 profile of the teenager.
But legally minors are eligible under certain circumstances.
Pothoven wrote on Instagram last week that after many "conversations and reviews" it had been decided.
In 2017, 6,585 people died of euthanasia in the Netherlands, according to the Dutch Regional Euthanasia Review Committees' most recent report. Pathologists must legally report cases to the review committees.
Most of those people had untreatable cancer.
The Netherlands, Luxembourg and Belgium are the only countries in the European Union that allow voluntary euthanasia.
Physician-assisted suicide is allowed in Switzerland, where even foreigners are allowed to travel to receive it.
In Finland, there is no penalty for physician-assisted suicide, but in most European countries the topic is hotly debated and the practise is illegal except for under very specific circumstances.
Dutch MP Lisa Westerveld visited Pothoven before her death and said she was impressed by the teenager's strength.
"I will never forget her. We will continue her struggle," Westerveld told Dutch media de Gelderlander.
The teen was a self-described "mental illness warrior".
Society should have told her no. The last thing she needed was for the doctor and the government to agree with her. Sickening.
Yeah......I wish I hadn’t read that.
Dear God
Dutch MP Lisa Westerveld visited Pothoven before her death and said she was impressed by the teenager’s strength.
The doctor should be hanged. Her family that went along with this should receive prison time.
The Dutch settled down to five years of Nazi occupation and gave the Germans very little trouble. They seemed to have learned a lot from the Nazis. Their “underground” did not care enough to rise up and thus they were not free from the Germans until over a week after Hitler killed himself.
Depression is a treatable illness. The “doctor” who carried out her “treatment” should be treated to the same “cure”.
This is murder in the first degree, nothing less.
“Dutch MP Lisa Westerveld visited Pothoven before her death and said she was impressed by the teenager’s strength.”
Doesn’t sound like strength to me, you monster.
It’s just so appalling. Will neglected teens look forward to visits from MP’s praising them for their strength if they can just make themselves commit to euthenisia? What does it say to those struggling to grapple with the aftermath of what may well be “immigrant” rape? Kill yourself and impress the MP? The MP “knows” it’s the best course of action for you? Did no one in the Netherlands love this kid?
Modern day human sacrifice.
Sickening. NO ONE helped this poor girl. I’m sure the death lobby is celebrating.
She had less than 3 years to heal.
Madness - utter, total insanity.
I bet she was raped by Muzzies, another gift from the state.
She was in desperate need of help and treatment, NOT euthanasia!
Raped by savage African migrants.

Wouldn’t surprise me a bit. And the Dutch medical establishment finished off the rape/murder for the Muzzies.

Likely unassimilated foreign “yutes”, but the article doesn’t say. Of course, in Europe, it would conceal that kind of info if true.
Very possibly but hard to say. The Netherlands is a country that has absolutely gone to h*ll since about 1970. It used to be said it was a socially conservative society with a politically liberal government. Now thanks to ‘enlightened public opinion’ the country is well on the way to a third world society and a first world economy. The Dutch have engaged in a wide variety of dubious state activities to try and raise money to support the all encompassing welfare state. A perfect example is that the state can now operate casino gambling establishments but not private operators. So the state has erected a dozen or so massive gaming venues to get the suckers dough. Unfortunately the gambling income never seems to be enough to make even a modest dent in the financial demands of the social services. One of the larger of these venues is in Arnhem. It is fascinating to watch the grubby looking throngs of Europeans, muzzards, Africans and other Asians milling about trying to lose money.
“I bet she was raped by Muzzies, another gift from the state.”
I was wondering the same thing. Who did the raping and where are they now?
