Spanish woman dies by assisted death after years-long fight to access euthanasia
Noelia Castillo, a 25-year-old in Spain who became paraplegic after sexual assault and endured psychiatric illness, died by assisted euthanasia in Sant Pere de Ribes after nearly two years of legal challenges to access Spain’s 2021 euthanasia law. The case drew broad attention to end-of-life rights as Spain has logged over 1,100 assisted deaths since the law took effect.
