A 25-year-old woman from Barcelona, Noelia Castillo Ramos, died by legal #Euthanasia at a care facility in Sant Pere de Ribes, after Spanish courts rejected last-minute efforts by her father and a Christian legal group to stop the procedure

Multiple reports say Castillo had been paraplegic since a suicide attempt in 2022, lived with constant pain, and had received approval under Spain’s 2021 euthanasia law before the case became the country’s first such dispute to reach the courts

A Spanish woman dies by euthanasia after a long legal battle with her father.

Noelia Castillo, who had conducted a long legal battle with her father for the right to end her life, died on Thursday.

The Catalan government granted her the right to assisted dying but the process was suspended after legal objections raised by her father.

The European Court of Human Rights ruled in her favour earlier this week.

So, bioethics and euthanasia. I will preface by saying that my PhD was #bioethics based, and I support autonomous #euthanasia. (Which is to say, I believe people have the right to decide their own destiny, but do not believe the State has that right.)

Right to Die should be as respected as any other personal medical decision. I tell you that story, because an incredibly brave woman, Noelia Castillo Ramos, has fought her father and a bunch of right wing god botherers, the ultra-conservative group Abogados Cristianos (Christian Lawyers), in #Spain to be allowed to end her misery.

I respect her Ms Ramos’s decision, and hope that she finds peace in the Source.

#MAiD #Euthanasia #SlipperySlope #NoWarButClassWar (and we’re losing)

Having just had to go through a long, slow, painful death of a parent from cancer, I simply do not understand the resistance to euthanasia.

So much trauma on my parent. So much trauma on us children. So much trauma for the grandchildren. All for what? The sanctity of life? What life when someone has a medical death sentence and is dying.
