What is learned by others that are fighting depression or hard times when they read this?

Unfortunately, this is just the beginning...

Well, I can sit here and argue it is your agenda to deny at all costs of the possibility that it was Muslims because it goes against your narrative.

Not much you can do if the child doesn't want to live. I guess you could physically force feed them by tube or something, but that would take a hospital environment to do it safely and that costs lots of $$$$.

Didn't say that. Just saying it's not as simple as it sounds.

This

But I'm 100% sure some idiots will be talking about how brave she and her parents are/were.

This girl clearly had more wrong with her than just rape, as terrible as that is.

Humans can be some of the most cruel and vicious animals on the planet. Even the ones who claim to be helping.

Which time? Per her book she was raped in three separate instances, two of which occurred at school parties. Your claim seems dubious at best especially considering your lack of familiarity with her story.

ETA: The claim is based on her recounting her third rape in the neighborhood of Elderveld in Arnhem which does have a Muslim community. Nothing confirmed.

He doesn't. Just pushing the anti-Muslim agenda as hard as he can. Without any legit sources.

Pretty sad actually. And he isn't even aware how pathetic it all is.

17 years old?! WTF?

Although I was never raped by Muslims, I'd venture to think that life gets better. But whatever.

Most sane people support this after they look at the sexual assault/rape rate and Muslim immigrant growth rate in Scandinavian countries.

Fair points here.

The fact that there was apparently so much tragedy in this girl's background coupled with the fact that her parents were pretty forthcoming to the media regarding these end of life choices, makes it all the more odd that only cursory details were publicly provided about what actually supposedly happened to her.

I support euthanasia if someone has a terminal illness or is in constant excruciating physical pain.

Depression is treatable and does not fit this.
