Euthanasia in Belgium

[Mozarella_Man]

In terms of CTB run by professionals, the only clinic I think accepts mental illness is the Pegasos Swiss Association.

I also read that Belgium sometimes does it for people with psychiatric illnesses but am not sure how this applies to Tourists.

Anyone have any knowledge?

There is a video of a 24 year old from Belgium doing medically assisted suicide


She went through many mental hospital stays and medications so I don't think you can just walk in and get a prescription. I know that in the US, you can not just travel to a state with assisted suicide and expect to use it. I'd assume it would be the same in Belgium.

You have to be a resident and have a relationship with the treating physician to make the request to.
You can't waltz up to the door of a doctor you have never seen and request euthanasia.

"At the Brugmann University hospital, where Dr Vermylen works, seven out of 15 euthanasia cases last year involved French people. At the Jules Bordet institute, also in the Belgian capital, French people account for almost a third of euthanasia consultations - 40 out of 130 cases."
