Disturbing to say the least.

Pro choicers are we down with Euthanasia in an instance like this- no teminal physical disease?




quote:

Noa Pothoven, 17, has been legally euthanized in the Netherlands, saying the pain she was dealing with after a childhood rape was “insufferable


quote:

Children as young as 12 can opt for euthanasia in the Netherlands but only after a doctor determines that the patient’s pain is unbearable. Euthanasia is also legal in some US states, Canada and Belgium.

In an atheistic worldview, there's no basis for moral absolutes and things like this are perfectly acceptable.

That’s where it goes. A State appointed “expert” affirming a teens depression and prescribing death.

Well as we are seeing the left take a wide turn more and more left under the guise of “Progress”, i thought it was an appropriate topic as I am sure the more enlightened amongst us surely have an opinion or will push this issue to the forefront shortly- and the MSM will take it up as the next hot topic political issue to ram down our throats.

If you disagree with this you will be branded with new “phobe” word of the day.

Probably not generally appropriate for a minor child, but any competent adult who wishes to clock-out should always have that option. No reason that they should not be able to obtain assistance and to do so in a painless manner and in a comfortable environment.

Nope, for late term abortion without a license.

I read this story and thought about posting it. Tough read. Society failed the child. This kid didn't have the life experience of dealing with tragedies and it looks like their people gave up on a little girl that didn't have the maturity to work through this with the proper help. It may have take 10 years, but a decade of growing up with the right support could have given this kid a meaningful life.

You realize they are not very competent, right?

Perhaps this is the end result of thinking we should be able to absolutely create a world where nobody EVER has to. The whole thing is troubling in many regards.

They DO have that option. It’s called suicide. Google “pain free suicide” and knock yourself out. It doesn’t REQUIRE state participation . Especially at age 17 for a mental health issue. That’s just frickin EVIL.

Are you 50 and riddled with debilitating physical pain ? Let’s talk.

Sad. She will never have a chance to get better now. Don't agree with this at all (in this case).

I'm here, but only for physical, terminal impairments with correspondingly unbearable pain.

But, suicidal ideation (and attempts) are clear signs of a treatable mental illness. Assisting those folks in successfully killing themselves is the opposite of medical treatment (or compassion).

Not if he is Muslim, it's just a part of their culture which we must respect.
