I have no words to express the abject horror that’s coursing through my veins right now. I’m nauseous, I’m on the verge of tears. What kind of world are we living in that a rape victim is told the only way to deal with her trauma is to kill herself? This is a tragedy. Noa experienced something truly traumatic and terrible. She needed help. Not death. Death only causes more pain for her family and friends. Death robs her of the possibility of healing. For us as a society to say “we don’t know how to help you, you’re better off dead” is for us as a society to say “rape has won.” If this is where we want society to go, then we need to take a good long look at ourselves and ask if we’re actually pushing for quality of life, or if we want things to be easy.

Noa, I’m sorry. Society has failed you.

This was an extremely rare, heartbreaking and complicated case, as all cases around euthanasia are.

The system failed her.. Big time. But it failed her long before her decision to euthanize..

But that is in no way am excuse for you to use her pain and her trauma to push your own agenda. Noa decided for herself that her pain was unbearable and that she did not want to live anymore. The doctors and psychologists listened to her and what she wanted. She met all the criteria and was determined about her decision.
