In a small Dutch town near the German border, a 28-year-old woman named Zoraya ter Beek is set to be euthanized due to her struggles with mental illness, including depression, autism, and borderline personality disorder. Despite being physically healthy, she has made the decision to end her life as her psychiatrist informed her that her condition will never improve. Ter Beek had aspirations of becoming a psychiatrist herself but was unable to pursue her dreams due to her own mental health issues.Ter Beek's decision was influenced by her belief that her life is like a dying tree, symbolized by a tattoo on her arm. She plans to peacefully pass away on her living room couch, surrounded by her boyfriend. Following her death, her ashes will be scattered in a wooded area as per her wishes.The Netherlands legalized euthanasia in 2001, with at least eight other countries now following suit. Assisted suicide is also legal in several states in the US and Australia. Despite some fear of the unknown, ter Beek is resolute in her decision to end her life, feeling that it is the best option for her given her circumstances.
