"Physically Healthy Dutch Woman, 29, Chooses Assisted Suicide"

Zoraya ter Beek, a 29-year-old Dutch woman diagnosed with autism and suffering from severe mental health issues, died by assisted suicide after a three-year wait for approval. Despite being physically healthy, her unbearable psychological suffering led her to seek euthanasia, which is legal in the Netherlands under strict conditions. Ter Beek, who had a history of depression, anxiety, and an unspecified personality disorder, believed in the safety and necessity of the Dutch euthanasia laws but opposed the availability of unregulated "suicide kits."
