Noa Pothoven Highlights VSED as Alternative to MAID

Noa Pothoven suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and anorexia for years. She tried to survive despite her psychological problems, but that was no longer possible.
Noa recently announced that she had stopped eating and drinking. When she died, her death was erroneously reported as having been through euthanasia. In fact, the Levenseind ​​clinic in The Hague had denied her request. Instead, Noa hastened her death by VSED, a method commonly used when MAID or euthanasia is not available.
