Here’s why the 28-year-old decided to end her life through euthanasia
A perfectly healthy 28-year-old woman from the Netherlands has decided to end her life. According to the New York Post, Ter Beek was told by doctors that her borderline personality disorder (BPD) would only get worse.
Beek then decided that she would end her life in May this year by having the drug.
According to reports, she will be euthanized on her sofa with her 40-year-old boyfriend by her side. She will be given a sedative before being given a medication that will stop her heart.
Following her death, a euthanasia review committee will evaluate her case to see if all criteria were followed and the Dutch government will after that declare her life was ended lawfully.
In 2017, a Dutch couple, who wished to take their last breath together, died by euthanasia.
Nic Elderhorst and his wife Trees, both 91, gave each other a last kiss before they died in the company of family and friends in their home in Didan, in the Netherlands, on June 4, The Independent reported.
