A Healthy 24-Year-Old Belgian Woman Will Be Allowed To Die By Euthanasia

In Belgium, a 24-year old woman with no life threatening diseases is going to be allowed to die with physician assistance.  The woman, who is known as ‘Laura,’ told doctors “life, that’s not for me,” and that she “wanted to die since childhood.”  According to statistics the number of Belgians opting for euthanasia has increased by 27% over the last 12 months.
