"Physically Healthy Dutch Woman, 29, Opts for Assisted Suicide"

A 29-year-old Dutch woman, Zoraya ter Beek, who struggled with severe mental health issues including autism, depression, and anxiety, died by assisted suicide after a three-year wait for approval. Despite being physically healthy, she experienced "unbearable suffering with no prospect of improvement," a requirement for legal euthanasia in the Netherlands. Ter Beek had long desired to end her life due to lifelong bullying and feeling out of place, and she saw herself as an advocate for the Dutch euthanasia program.
