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.

This is what happens when life gets too easy and soft.

I sincerely believe that people need to go through hardships in order to appreciate life.

These days, nobody has to work, everybody has unlimited leisure time, and thus lose the purpose of living.

It’s everyone’s right to take their own life. It’s hard to understand why any doctor would be a part of it-Hippocratic oath.

“ In 2022, there were 8,720 euthanasia deaths in the Netherlands— representing roughly 5% of all the country’s deaths and up from 14% from the year prior”.

They told her it will never get better. Talk about dishing out an extra helping of despair.

Seems like a perfect liberal. Decided death is the only way to cure being crazy.

If this was in the USA she could at least continue to vote.

Kidding aside, she should line up donating her organs to the needy.

She takes one drug to kill herself when with the right counseling she could have taken 2 or 3 drugs and some other interventions to have a reasonable life. Let’s hear for what physiatry has become.

Indeed. The power of suggestion should never be forgotten. What if they had told her she’d be better very soon?

“...Ter Beek, who once aspired to be a psychiatrist”

Many ‘mental health professionals’ enter the field for self care. Be advised!

She is in no mental state to make such a decision.

As an engineering student I had to take non-technical courses, so I picked psychiatry. My, God! What a bunch of screwed-up people.

I think she has a serious problem, the same one that is spreading throughout the world of those who call themselves civilized, his problem is the lack of God in his life and the lack of interest in seeking Him and that is not all, also what is the purpose of God in our lives

Really? By what code or authority do you say that? Do we really own our bodies? How so? Did we buy them? God owns our body, it was his gift to us and our parents. Suicide is murder, Exodus 20:13: Thou shall not commit murder.
Deuteronomy 30:11-20,
“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him. This is the key to your life...”

She should hold on till the November election, not kidding. Things will get a lot better if Trump wins. There’s a lot of things going on right now that I can understand are very depressing, but in the end evil will not triumph.
