Why did Noelia want euthanasia?
The 25-year-old reports that she was sexually abused several times when she was younger. In 2022 she is said to have been the victim of a gang rape, which she never reported because she attempted suicide just days after the crime. She survived seriously injured and has been paralyzed ever since. She still suffers from the physical and mental consequences to this day.

After almost two years of litigation, she has now won justice and was allowed to receive euthanasia. The 25-year-old ended her life on Thursday (March 26th) – even her mother's words couldn't dissuade her from her path.
