Rest in peace, nobody deserves a life of pain and suffering only because other people want them to
>She suffered a complete, severe, and irreversible spinal cord injury, as a result of which she cannot move from the waist down, and which causes her severe pain and urinary incontinence.
Interesting her physical challenges aren’t really brought up much online. Think it would be difficult to condemn her to a life of pain
The right to have a dignified death should be as sacred as the right to have a dignified life
that’s so fucking heartbreaking. bon voyage, Noelia 💔
I find my reaction to this story quite interesting so I’m going to share it here.
Rationally speaking, I think the availability of euthanasia is a good thing. For people who are faced with a lifetime of suffering, regardless if they’re 85 years old, noticing the first signs of dementia, and wanting to decide when to go while still in control, or something like this, where you know that nothing can ever undo what she went through, physically and mentally. I fully support the availability of such a solution to give a humane end to lives that are miserable with no chance of ever not being miserable.
On the other hand, a small part of my brain still goes “but what if something could be done to fix things”. It’s hard for this little part of me to just let go someone who’s still this young. I don’t like it, I don’t believe that this part of me is right, at all, but it’s just there, for some reason. Maybe it’s an instinct? I don’t know.
My real belief is that this is what’s best for her, because that’s what she has decided for herself. I don’t know her, I don’t know anything she’s feeling, I am entirely unrelated to the entire thing. But it still bums me out immensely that choosing to die just IS what’s best for her. Hopefully that makes me a person, I don’t know.
rest in peace gentle soul. may your suffering and pain go away in the afterlife
but i do hope her abusers face a worst fate so we can call it justice. the laws are too kind for monsters..
Noelia, I pray that we can take your pain away from you. By small piece everyone, it’s not so complicated, when pain is shared. If there is hope in your life and you have a little courage to live- please stay. If you decided to leave-may the brightest light be your guide through your journey to liberation. Om amarani jivantye soha.
“I’ve always felt lonely, even before I requested euthanasia; I saw my world as very dark (…) I don’t feel like doing anything—not going out, not eating, not doing anything at all—and I have a very hard time sleeping; on top of that, I have back and leg pain.”
Killing depressed people is a real bad precedent to set. We’re in for some crazy stuff.
Does anyone know names of the attackers?
Brings up a big debate this, worldwide.
With trauma like that, euthanasia or assisted suicide has to be a legal option or seriously considered.
When someone is at their very lowest, with no route to escape and improve, and the paralysis further giving her permanent issues, what standard of living remains but a torturous one?
Bless Noelia.
Fucking hell.
Good for her. It’s her life to choose to live or not, everyone else needs to shut up.
>Her request was ultimately approved after all medical and legal criteria were fulfilled, and every appeal filed against her was successively rejected
Euthanasia isn’t as simple as you might think. One has to go through a taxing, lengthy process to even be eligible for it. At least the americans have easy access to guns, luckily for some.
Does anyone know if her rapists were caught? This story is so depressing from every angle I hope these monsters were caught and prosecuted.
That’s a deeply distressing story. Heartbreaking that this victim at some point decided to take her own life, failed, had to live with the severe consequences for a long time.
What torment for that person. Rest in peace.
Well euthanasia not on your own request is usually called murder
It’s important to say you absolutely can recover from a sexual assault.
I am very sorry for this girl…would have been lovely if our politicians would protect us and we would live in a community where we look out for each other… nobody deserves to be forced to make this decision in their life…hope you find peace wherever you are headed.
This comment section is scary. Why do so many people think they should have the right to decide over other people’s lives?
I am so sad and crying after reading the articles about her. I hope they will put the monsters responsible behind bars forever.
I’ve been approved since 2022. Knowing I have the choice keeps me going.
And her father is like “no dear, I prefer seeing you in constant pain and without will to live”, wtf? Thanks to radical “pro life” Christians, I assume?
This is so messed up. I feel so bad for her
I hope she goes to sleep peacefully and wakes up in a beautiful field, running and playing with no memories of her pain.
She deserves it.
I am not disappointed in you. I am disappointed in the society that failed you and so many others.
What an asshole father.
I told the priest
Don’t count on any second coming
God got his ass kicked
The first time he came down here slumming
He had the balls to come
The gall to die and then forgive us
No, I don’t wonder why
I wonder what he thought it would get us
Hey, hey, goodbye
Tomorrow, Wendy is going to die
I’m sorry life didn’t give you a chance to give you love Noelia, I wish you a peaceful ending.
I came across her story today…you can see the struggle in her eyes. Its not anybodys job to make judgement in these cases. Its sad to see the struggle she has an endured and how its pushed her to this point. In a perfect world , you want them to see the hope there can be but sometimes it just doesn’t get better.
I truly wish her to pass peacefully…
