I thought there was more to the "euthanasia" story. Very sad, but there was indeed more to it.

Noa Pothoven, 17-year-old who sought euthanasia, dies at home after battle with depression, anorexia
by Alex Lasker
June 4, 2019


A 17-year-old Dutch girl who sought euthanasia but was rejected by the government was allowed to die at home on Sunday after a years-long battle with depression and anorexia.

Noa Pothoven, of Arnhem in the Netherlands, explained the choice to end her own life by starvation in a now-private Instagram post last week, saying the trauma she struggled to live with following a childhood rape had become insufferable.

"After years of fighting and battling, I am drained," she wrote. "I have quit eating and drinking for a while now, and after many discussions and evaluations, it was decided to let me go because my suffering is unbearable."

It's no less a troubling story. Basically, her parents helped facilitate her dying, with essentially the full blessing of the government there. The rape was by muslims - which nobody is publishing for some reason.

The whole thing seems like a failure by society all around.

It seems clear there's not really an answer here, but I'm pretty sure any notion that we should be celebrating this as some sort of advancement of civilization is not it.

Truly sad that she never found the help she desperately needed.

It's depressing because we are entering a time where society has a subjective value for life. The exact opposite direction of where we should be headed. There's even some freaks that want mass populations to die off because of climate change, it's bizarre and anti-human. Don't really care about the policy, it's just sad that somebody can convince themselves that killing themselves is the best option, and her parents didn't seem to do anything about it. Very un-human behaviors.

Curious. If the info on the perpetrators of the rape was not reported, how do you know they were muslim?

I saw it here. Full disclosure, it's sort of an out there traditional catholic blog. Fire away at the source if you wish. If you can find clear contrary information that it was something else, more power to you as well. I'd love to see that, if it exists.

Doesn't it raise a bit of suspicion to you that there's really nothing about the actual incident that precipitated all this out there in the mainstream, though?

Her parents are just as complicit. Who would stand by and allow their child to starve themselves to death.

You should be embarrassed to even post that as a link.

No sourcing. None.

And I kind how you omitted the part about being abused first. Wonder why.

I acknowledged it was sketchy, but no less so than the fact that there is literally NOTHING about the actual incident in the mainstream media. Tell me how that's not so.

So, first you make a statement. That you know is based on a sketchy site.

Then you post the link. Lol

Incident: do you think every rape is reported? In the media?

I see you still aren’t addressing the abuse. So, you are like the MSM.

I think there is more information about this one somewhere out there that, for some reason, is not being reported, yes.

I don't know what you're getting at. Who did the "abuse"?

You don’t even read your own sources.

The one where you mistakenly think it's wrong for teenagers with rather obvious psychological problems to be able to kill themselves with government help.

That’s a sad story. You have to be in a very dark place to do something like that. Sucks there wasn’t any kind of help that could keep her out of that dark place.

Truly some major mental issues and I can only hope that a just God understands such and does not punish her and that she is in eternal happiness
