Twenty years ago I suffered from my second attack of severe depression. The thought of dying was the only thing that gave me any relief ,for me the emotional pain was unbearable. The only thing that prevented me taking that course of action was the impact this would have on my family,and also my faith. I'm certainly not a right wing religious funamentalist. I have a strong & sustaining Christian faith. I believe that euthanasia legislation can be abused too easily & I'm very glad that I no longer live in the country of my birth....The Netherlands. Who knows twenty years ago I may have been gently euthanased out of my misery.
