Yeah, so let the father suffer the rest of his life knowing his daughter killed herself… If my daughter wanted to do that, ill or not, I’d fight for her life, not applaud the fact she won the right to assisted suicide…
Yes, I get it, she has a psychiatric illness now with chronic pain due to a previous suicide attempt, but it didn’t rally mention any attempts at either treating her issues or how actually severe it was. A lot of people can self-diagnose “depression” or other illnesses, and the article doesn’t do a good job explaining actual severity, just sounds like they also support her by how is written.
Idk, the whole assisted suicide is such a fucked concept and a lot of grey area!

Euthanasia is not something that’s allowed on a whim. It typically requires psychological evaluation, a prognosis that doesn’t allow for recovery or improvement, and a lengthy process to get approval. You can’t just walk into a doctor’s office, tell them you’re in pain and want to die, and have them hook you up to an IV.
Why do you think the father’s desire to keep her alive should trump her own bodily autonomy and right to choose for herself?

Requests for assisted suicide are not granted if there’s reasonable chance of improvement. The article may not state it, but if the Spanish high court agrees with her you can be sure every possible treatment has been tried and failed.

She’s his daughter, not his property. Somebody seeking medical aid in dying doesn’t just grab a ticket and get in line for the headsman to take a little off the top, there’s more to it but those are discussions between the adult patient and medical professionals.
He has the right to be sad but that doesn’t mean he gets any more say in the matter than Fulano de Tal off the street.

Medical case reports state that the patient is suffering from severe, chronic and incapacitating pain from her injury, with no possibility of improvement
Did you read it?

So, you think she should live in physical and mental agony, so dad doesn’t have to be sad?
If it went like that, if her dad ever emotionally matures enough to feel the guilt of forcing her to do that, the mental hit he’d take would be a million times worse.
At that point, not only would the daughter be in pain, it would be his fault.
None of this involves self-diagnosis. You can’t just ask for assisted suicide. Like others are commenting, in countries that allow it, the pricess is rigorous.

Good for her. That man shouldn’t call himself a father, wanting to force his daughter to live in pain with no hope of improvement.

Clearly you didn’t read and comprehend the article
