A 29-year-old Dutch woman named Zoraya ter Beek, who is in good health, has been granted the right to end her life through assisted suicide.
Ter Beek has expressed her desire to take her own life since 2020, citing chronic depression, anxiety, and trauma as the reasons behind her decision.
Despite having a partner, family, and friends, ter Beek has remained steadfast in her choice to proceed with the procedure.
She acknowledges the pain her decision may cause her loved ones but remains determined to follow through with it.
Ter Beek has expressed relief knowing that she will not be alive in a few weeks.
The assisted suicide process will involve a medical team visiting her home, administering a sedative to induce a coma, and then providing drugs to stop her heart.
She has described the process as being similar to falling asleep and has given her partner the option to leave the room before the moment of death if he feels the need to do so.
