Discussion Euthanasia in Belgium

[LupuZ8]

I live in Belgium and Ive heard they do euthanize people with severe mental health problems but the process is very strict and you rarely get their permission. I think I will try to apply for it but if it doesnt work out Ive still got the inert gas method.

This is why I don't bother with it in my country.

Sounds good on paper, but in reality it's trash.

I'm curious to hear the results.
I saw this video from this thread:

Where people can die in peace: Belgium

If only we had been born in Belgium, we could simply request to die peacefully with the help of a doctor: Every place should be this way:

And the requirements don't seem that strict at all...

I know some people who have tried. But were rejected. If you search on youtube: too young to die: euthanasie als enige uitweg. This is a documentary about this. Its in Dutch but you can use subs. They say the process takes a long time.

I wish you the best of luck with your plans, if people are able to access legalised assisted suicide then to me they are fortunate, it's only allowed for animals where I live.

For the other Belgian girl it took one year, imho that's not so long. Of course they're not going to make such a decision in 2 days. If I'm not mistaken the other girl was approved, but she still waited for 2 years to make that final decision.
