Dutch Doctors Euthanize 29-Year-Old Woman with Depression

February 2, 2018

(Catholic Herald) – Doctors in Holland have performed the euthanasia of a young woman who was suffering from mental health problems. Aurelia Brouwers, 29, who was physically fit, was given a lethal injection less than a month after winning an eight-year battle to end her life. Her bouts of depression, she argued, made her life intolerable and led her to attempt suicide, and commit self-harm and arson.
