Euthanasia of teenage girl that divided the Netherlands: How tormented 17-year-old was granted 'death wish' - before doctor who gave her lethal injection was condemned by peers
daily mail ^ | July 26,2026 | ELIANA SILVER

Posted on 07/26/2026 7:13:25 PM PDT by Morgana

In October 2023, Dutch doctor Menno Oosterhoff made a home visit to one of his patients. But unlike most of his work, his purpose that day was not to save a life, it was to end one.

His patient was 17-year-old Milou Verhoof, a rape survivor who had endured profound psychological trauma.

After years of unsuccessful treatment, she asked to be euthanised, and Mr Oosterhoff was the doctor who carried out her request.

Now, years later, Milou's parents and Mr Oosterhoff are facing legal battles after 14 psychiatrists and doctors privately wrote to the Dutch public prosecutor asking to conduct a preliminary criminal investigation into Milou's euthanasia.

They asked to examine the extent to which Milou's parents, together with two psychiatrists, influenced the teenager in her choice for euthanasia, suggesting she was no longer mentally competent.

Her parents are now filing a disciplinary case, arguing the letter has seriously harmed them.

But behind the legal disputes is the story of a young girl whose life was defined by years of trauma.

Milou had once been described by her mother as a cheerful, sensitive girl who enjoyed a happy middle-class upbringing.

But her life changed dramatically after her older brother, Daan, who has Down's syndrome, became critically ill when she was 11, spending a month in a coma.

The ordeal left her plagued by nightmares and flashbacks, and within two years she had been raped, sending her into a spiral of post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and self-harm.

During a later stay as an inpatient in a secure psychiatric facility, she was sexually abused again by another patient.

The years that followed were dominated by repeated treatments, medication, psychiatric admissions and suicide attempts.

Years of unsuccessful treatment?
She was only 17.

“As her parents stood beside her, Mr Oosterhoff administered the lethal injection, consisting first of lidocaine to numb the area where the needle would prick her, a coma-inducing drug and a muscle relaxer called rocuronium, which made her stop breathing.”

Seems that the Leftists have NO TROUBLE finding drugs to kill the people they want to kill, but when it comes to killing the people that deserve to be killed, like felons, the same drugs are not available (or at least very difficult to obtain)? What gives?

I strongly suspect that her downward spiral was started by one of their ‘new arrivals’ getting some ‘cultural enrichment’, at her expense.

I read as much of that article I could handle. Then I read this:

*** Among young people aged 12 to 30 who have died through euthanasia, more than three-quarters are female.***

Oh, dear sweet Jesus! They’re letting 12 year olds decide to get themselves offed. And doctors are doing it!

How awful!

How about euthanizing the pig that raped her who was probably yet another Muslim “refugee” who was probably given a tap on the wrist after the rape which is what drove her even further over the edge.

Anyone read this story last week about the tranny who left the USA because of Trump and moved to the Netherlands? Oops!

Satan goes about seeking to steal, kill and destroy.

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: . “ - 1 Peter 5:8

Anti-Christ spirit rising up for the last days. It seeks to become entrenched into Government laws and policies as a ‘beast’ system.

My father, who was much wiser than he let on, believed that things like this, along with genetic engineering that’s “playing God” is what drove the Almighty to destroy the earth before. And it would be why He will do it again.

“Makes you wonder just how wicked the earth was when God flooded it the first time.......”

Noah, his wife, His three sons, and their wives make 8 people in the whole world. And Noah preached repentance for 100 years and converted nobody. That’s pretty wicked.

If they could have found 10 righteous people, Sodom would have been saved. Lot, his wife, two married daughters, their husbands, one single daughter. Seven people.

How big were Sodom and Gomorrah?

I was thinking about that while posting this.
