Noelia Castillo Ramos was removed from her family at the age of 13 due to social and personal difficulties. She was then placed in a child protection center in Catalonia.
Victim of sexual assault (whether there or elsewhere, it is not well established at present), she was deeply affected by it and in 2022, she attempted to end her life by jumping from the fifth floor. She survived, but remained paraplegic, living since with great dependence and chronic pain.
In the years that followed, Noelia pursued a course of action to obtain euthanasia, authorized in Spain under certain conditions, including for psychological suffering deemed grave and persistent. Her father opposed this decision and waged a legal battle to the end, including before the European Court of Human Rights, but it recently dismissed his case. He argued that his daughter had not chosen to die but had ceased to believe that anyone could help her live.
Yesterday, therefore, she was killed, at her request, by a purported "caregiver" (the fraud of words is here particularly shocking).
The State had judged her parents incapable of protecting her. It did no better than they did, to say the least…
This horrible story should give pause to those in France who do not oppose the bill "on the end of life," which constitutes a major anthropological and civilizational rupture and, under the guise of humanism, would inevitably lead to the most brutal immorality and the inhuman.
