A physically healthy 29-year-old Dutch woman ended her life through assisted suicide due to crippling depression and other issues.
According to multiple outlets, officials in the Netherlands gave Zoraya ter Beek, 29, final approval to die by assisted suicide on the grounds of unbearable mental suffering. Ter Beek first applied for euthanasia in 2020.
Ter Beek reportedly died last week.
As Townhall previously reported, Ter Beek previously aspired to be a psychiatrist, but “was never able to muster the will to finish school or start a career,” she explained in an interview with The Free Press. She suffered from depression, as well as autism and borderline personality disorder.
At one point, a mental health professional reportedly told Ter Beek, “There’s nothing more we can do for you. It’s never gonna get any better.”
At the time, Stef Groenewoud, a healthcare ethicist at Theological University Kampen, in the Netherlands, told The Free Press, “I’m seeing euthanasia as some sort of acceptable option brought to the table by physicians, by psychiatrists, when previously it was the ultimate last resort.”
“I see the phenomenon especially in people with psychiatric diseases, and especially young people with psychiatric disorders, where the healthcare professional seems to give up on them more easily than before,” Groenewoud added.
“I entered the review committee in 2005, and I was there until 2014,” Boer told the outlet. “In those years, I saw the Dutch euthanasia practice evolve from death being a last resort to death being a default option.”
Word, homie.
The Christian parents of a girl in Chicago wanted her to enjoy the finer things in life but be a Christian at the same time. They sent her to a finishing school where she learned to walk, talk, eat and drink wine.
She learned to drink a lot of wine and became a drunkard. She also became extremely immoral and woke up one Sunday morning in a strange hotel room with a man she didn't know. She walked to the window and jumped.
One of the police officers that arrived on the scene was kneeling beside her and recognized her as an old friend of the family that he had held from the time she was a baby. Someone asked why she did it and with tears streaming down his face he said, "Because, when you don't have Jesus, there's nothing left to do but jump."
But yes, how sad it is when people feel they have only one option and that is to end their lives.
“Ter Beek first applied for euthanasia in 2020.”
She waited four years? She was not a very enterprising young lady.
If I wanted to be dead...it would be over in the next 60 seconds.
The primary job of ethicists is to justify and promote unethical conduct.
Holy smoke. I lived in Beek for over 3 years from 1999-2002. Very sad.
The top pyschiatrist in Holland was homeless after dealing with the royal family and leading politicians.... the Dutch have an identifiable insanity, which women frequently are affected. It runs in families, like the bleeders, and it is a generation curse.
I spent four years there and another one in Belgian Dutch town.
Gotta kill off the natives to support the turd world invaders.
Mental illness is a terrible thing
In America she would have been told she was really a man and put on testosterone and given a double mastectomy and take two aspirins and call me in the morning.
In the US Armed Forces she’d have been given 800 mg Motrin, told to hydrate and told to change her socks.
