A 29-year-old Dutch woman named Zoraya ter Beek has been granted permission for euthanasia on the grounds of severe mental suffering, despite being physically healthy. Ter Beek has suffered from chronic depression, anxiety, and trauma since childhood and has tried various treatments without success. She has expressed her desire for assisted suicide since 2020. Ter Beek dismisses criticism of her decision as 'insulting' and says she will die in the next few weeks. Critics are concerned about the potential trend of countries adopting similar euthanasia models.
