Dutch woman Zoraya ter Beek, 28, will undergo euthanasia in May due to severe mental health struggles. Ter Beek battles depression, autism, and borderline personality disorder and feels her illness is untreatable despite a loving boyfriend and pets. Doctors say no further treatment options exist.
Ter Beek’s case has sparked debate. Some argue it highlights a concerning trend of healthcare professionals in the West readily resorting to euthanasia for mental health problems. Others contend that it grants terminally ill patients more control over their final days.
