- Tom Mortier was at work as an academic when he was checking his email and saw a request to come and collect his mother's body. That was the first he knew. Nobody got to say goodbye. She was perfectly healthy, but was legally euthanased against her regular doctor's advice.
Worse, the doctor who killed her sits on the government body responsible for checking that the requirements of the euthanasia law have been met in each case. (Read more at adfinternational.org/legal/mo...)
I understand your reasons for not agreeing with assisted suicide, completely. However, as someone who myself is clinically depressed, its easy to see how your mother felt, not wanting to live, having no hope, feeling completely alone even with everyone around you. Sometimes medicine works, sometimes it does not, and when it does not, you're constantly stuck in a state of hopelessness, as much as you hope the medicine might work. But sadly, it does not always. It should be someone's choice to choose when to end their life, whether it be through physical or mental illness, because your mind can be as debilitating as any physical illness, and unless you have been in that position yourself it would be impossible for you to understand how she was feeling, the feeling of hopelessness is real, and very prevelant in the minds of depressed people. I am so extremely sorry for your loss, and completely understand your views on the matter, however I also understand your mother's point of view and reasons for doing what she did, may she rest in peace, and may you come to peace with her decision and continue your work. I wish you well.
You may think you understand but do you know what the third REich was. Do you get or understand history at all? I truly hope that you do some research and learn about this history.
