Spain’s top court rejects father’s bid to block daughter’s euthanasia
(www.rt.com)https://www.rt.com/news/632894-father-block-daughter-euthanasia-spain/The Constitutional Court has approved euthanasia for a 25-year-old woman paralyzed in a suicide attempt Spain’s Constitutional Court has rejected an appeal by a father seeking to halt his 25-year-old daughter’s access to euthanasia, effectively upholding her right to die under the country’s legislation.
Spain is one of several EU nations where active euthanasia and assisted suicide are legal. The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg also allow both practices under strict conditions, while Austria and Germany permit assisted dying or assisted suicide in limited circumstances. The latest case involves a 25-year-old woman from Barcelona named Noelia, who was left paraplegic with chronic pain after a 2022 suicide attempt in which she overdosed on medication and jumped from a fifth-floor window, according to court documents cited by Spanish media. Her injury resulted in paralysis of both legs and what is described as ongoing suffering.
In 2024, a specialized medical commission approved the woman’s request for euthanasia, and a procedure was scheduled for August 2. However, her father opposed the decision, arguing that her mental illness and disabilities impaired the ability to make an informed choice, having filed an appeal. Several lower courts backed the woman’s decision.
so in a nutshell let the loonie kill himself/herself. after all that's the perfect cure no? oh goy
