Applying For Euthanasia

No longer being able to handle being in such a deplorable state, Mark chose to look into euthanasia. In the process, he would be interviewed by 3 consultants as required by Belgian law, and they would all agree that his case was “unbearable physical and psychological suffering,” which meant that he was eligible for assisted suicide.

It Was Torture

According to Kees, who was by his son’s side the entire 15 months since the horrific attack, “No one wants to live like that. I no longer left his bedside. He was constantly itching, I had to support his arm, try to relieve the nerve pain. There is membrane around the bones – it was full of holed, the sulphuric acid continued to burn. It was unbearable pain.”
