    Imagine being in a state so extreme (for whatever reason) that you feel the need to die, and in that state finding you have to deal with the court system. What a nightmare on top of a nightmare. I feel for all parties in this situation. Sometimes all options just painfully and intolerably suck.

    Apparently the court system has to make decisions regarding this case without knowing the medical justification for euthanasia.

    Her father believes his daughter is generally healthy, and his lawyer previously argued in court that any physical symptoms she presents are a result of psychological conditions.

    I wonder if she has treatment-resistant anorexia. I have read somewhere about people with that diagnosis seeking euthanasia.
