The Dutch are far too liberal! That was murder. Depression is treatable. She needed counseling and medication, not euthanasia. She should have been hospitalized for her own protection.

The Swiss also will euthanize anyone who is a Swiss citizen or National.

I’ve known about euthanasia in the Netherlands for too long to be horrified by it. I’m more angry with the Dutch than anything. And with the Swiss. They should not be giving lethal injections, either. Actually, I don’t think the Swiss give lethal injections. They provide the “suicide pill,” but the patient has to be able to take the pill themselves, so the Swiss are not technically committing murder, the patient is committing suicide. I think any “patient” who goes to a suicide clinic is exhibiting a cry for help, not for death. They could kill themselves at home if they truly wanted to die. I think they want to live, but they just desperately want help but don’t know how to ask for it.

More so for any family and friends that feel betrayed by a country that has allowed a loved one’s mental illness to eat them alive in the name of “choice.”

You can find peace here. The world is good. The world was created by God. It’s hard, but it can be done.

“I hope she finds peace” is, in my opinion, one of the most bland, milk-toast and uncaring statements I have ever heard in regards to someone’s mental illness killing them with the help of doctors who have abandoned their Hippocratic oaths. (This is not a statement about you, Rhubarb, but about the nature of the comment. I assume you care very much about your friends and loved ones, but the comment itself seems outrageous to me.)

I do very much care about my friends and family. And I have no control or say over what they choose to do with their lives. And if they are in pain and want to end it (for 8 years it seems) then I hope that a doctor can be found to assist them, and I hope they find peace.

Some people suffer all their lives, yet still find peace. It’s very difficult, I know, but it can be done. Christ promised us crosses to bear in this life, but also the strength to bear them.
 
And screw their family and friends that might want to see their loved one recover from a mental disease, instead of being encouraged to give up by people who can’t see their inherent self-worth and worth to the world? Not even. It’s an evil, and I’ll fight it until I die.
 
Pretty much? Family and friends have no rightful say in whether you (not you you. A general you) move away or get a new job or a haircut or learn to play the tuba. She didn’t owe her friends and family her company - nobody does. This person was competent enough to sue in court. I’m sure her competency was one of the first issues dealt with. Her friends and family should have recognized she was in pain and respected her wishes as the autonomous individual that she was.

That being said, if I were in those shoes and my loved ones wanted to die in that situation I would probably react emotionally and selfishly too for awhile so I get it.

None of these things is equivalent to ending your own life.

So, screw everyone but number 1. Gotcha.

Bolding mine. Mental illness. Mental illness. Mental illness. Mental illness. Let’s let that sink in, shall we? Mental Illness. Mental illness. Mental illness. Do we call someone with severe schizophrenia “autonomous” without the treatment necessary to bring themselves under control? Mental illness. Mental illness. MENTAL ILLNESS. MENTAL ILLNESS.

Absolutely incredible to me that some people I read about in the news seem to care so little about depression and what it does to the body and mind that they’d be willing to let a loved one be consumed by their mental illness.

This statement is absolutely uncaring and cold to those who see the value and worth in the loved one that they’re worried about.

If one attempts suicide isn’t there usually a good chance of being found and treated in time? Seems the damage from a failed attempt could be catastrophic.
 
Every inclination of a healthy human mind and body is to live. Many suicide attempts are made, even, in ways that allow for people to step in and save the one trying to commit suicide.

This happened to me. A friend left a very strange, out-of-character message on Facebook before his attempt, and I saw it; I went to his place of residence to discover that he was half-dead from trying to kill himself via carbon monoxide poisoning. It’s not a stretch to say that I saved his life that day.

In July, he’ll be getting married to a mutual friend who loves him and cherishes him. His future is looking bright.

Anyone…ANYONE…who says that it’s ok to let a person die from depression is, in my opinion, a person who has real, stark ugliness on the inside. My friend is worth love, and marriage, and life, no matter how badly he’s feeling.

And that’s that.
 
No one who would do this can dare call himself a doctor. This is exactly what those who oppose this said would happen. People not of sound mind will be murdered. There are further steps along this evil path. God help us.
 
I read from her blog and she says that she has "Borderline Personality Disorder, chronic and complex PTSD, addiction, anxiety disorders and many more mental issues. She also states that she fights for “euthanasia for mentally ill patients and euthanasia around the world.”

She considers herself a “lucky bastard” living in The Netherlands because of euthanasia.

An Excerpt from her blog…
"I believe that after my death I will go to heaven / hereafter etc. Give it a name. I’ve also recently got the question: but what if there is nothing? If there is no heaven? What then?

“If there is no heaven, then I imagine death. And because of that suicide attempt, I know that is not bad either. Because then I also get peace. When I go to heaven I see my mother again, I get peace. But if there is nothing, then I also get peace. And that’s good too …”

I really wonder how many people think this way, especially in a secularist society. It’s just such a sad situation anyway look at it.

Please pray for her soul.

It depends on the manner of suicide or attempted suicide. A gunshot wound is usually fatal, whereas pills and cutting one’s wrists are not. Men who attempt suicide usually accomplish the task; women do not. Suicides and suicide attempts come about when people feel hopeless, when they feel there is no solution to any of the problems they are facing. If they can be given a little hope that things can get better, almost all choose life, hatd though it may be.
 
Heartbreaking.

Dear Lord Jesus, please grant this confused person (Aurelia Brouwers who is now “euthanized” away) a deathbed conversion (when this disaster took place).

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord . . . .

God bless
