The case of a 29-year-old woman killed by euthanasia in the Netherlands in February led politicians to speak out against changing the UK law.
Aurelia Brouwers was killed by a lethal injection after arguing that she was ‘entitled to a dignified death’ because of her ‘rotten life’. Brouwers had depression and a borderline personality disorder.
Horrified
Lord Carlile of Berriew of campaign group ‘Living and Dying Well’ said he was horrified at the death. ‘This is a case which illustrates the grave dangers presented by euthanasia and assisted dying’, he said.
