GHENT, Belgium (AP) — After struggling with mental illness for years, Cornelia Geerts was so desperate to die that she asked her psychiatrist to kill her.

Her sister worried that Geerts' judgment was compromised. The 59-year-old was taking more than 20 pills a day, including antidepressants, an opioid, a tranquilizer, and two medicines often used to treat bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

Ed; Who put her On those drugs in the first place?

But about a year later, on October 7, 2014, Geerts received a lethal dose of drugs from her doctor.

"I know it was Cornelia's wish, but I said to the psychiatrist that it was a shame that someone in treatment for years could just be brought to the other side with a simple injection," said her sister, Adriana Geerts, who believes society should try harder to accommodate the mentally ill.

Cases like Geerts' reveal how difficult it can be to navigate the boundary between individual freedom and protecting vulnerable patients when it comes to euthanasia.

According to confidential documents obtained by the Associated Press, such cases have fueled a clash between leading euthanasia practitioners that suggests doctors may have failed to meet certain legal requirements in some euthanasia cases — although there is no implication that patients were killed improperly.



"there is no implication that patients were killed improperly."


If you can go there, why don't you burn them at the stake and claim it wasn't improper, because they were Witches?

Oh, wait a minute. We've already BTDT.
