It breaks my heart to see Zoraya ter Beek make this huge life — or should I say, death — decision.

28 years old. Scheduled to die in May. Why? Because she is "hobbled by her depression and autism and borderline personality disorder."

I can't even begin to wrap my head around this. I mean, look at this girl.

I don't think I've ever used that GIF in a sincere fashion.

Ter Beek, who lives in a little Dutch town near the German border, once had ambitions to become a psychiatrist, but she was never able to muster the will to finish school or start a career. She said she was hobbled by her depression and autism and borderline personality disorder. Now she was tired of living — despite, she said, being in love with her boyfriend, a 40-year-old IT programmer, and living in a nice house with their two cats.

She recalled her psychiatrist telling her that they had tried everything, that "there's nothing more we can do for you. It's never gonna get any better."

At that point, she said, she decided to die. "I was always very clear that if it doesn't get better, I can't do this anymore" …

Her liberation, as it were, will take place at her home. "No music," she said. "I will be going on the couch in the living room" …

Then the doctor will administer a sedative, followed by a drug that will stop ter Beek's heart.

When she's dead, a euthanasia review committee will evaluate her death to ensure the doctor adhered to "due care criteria," and the Dutch government will (almost certainly) declare that the life of Zoraya ter Beek was lawfully ended.

Can you believe that? The doctor must pass a euthanasia review to make sure he/she killed the patient in a lawful fashion.

We live in such strange times. They're turning death into a fantasy. Is this the next cult they'll have kids following? First it was sterilization and mutilation, next, is it death? I mean, it's not far off, and the way they're making kids these days, I bet a lot of them would rather die than have to work a mundane job.

Such a sad phenomenon here, but you can see the writing on the wall.

Let's look more at this story of this beautiful Dutch woman.

As if to advertise her hopelessness, ter Beek has a tattoo of a "tree of life" on her upper left arm, but "in reverse."

"Where the tree of life stands for growth and new beginnings," she texted, "my tree is the opposite. It is losing its leaves, it is dying. And once the tree died, the bird flew out of it. I don't see it as my soul leaving, but more as myself being freed from life."

I'm telling you, man, this is a death cult. Girl's got a "tree of death" tattoo on her arm. She's been fantasizing about death since the day that tattoo idea popped up in her head.

Let's look at some professional opinions here on the Netherlands' euthanasia program:

"I'm seeing euthanasia as some sort of acceptable option brought to the table by physicians, by psychiatrists, when previously it was the ultimate last resort," Stef Groenewoud, a healthcare ethicist at Theological University Kampen, in the Netherlands, told me. "I see the phenomenon especially in people with psychiatric diseases, and especially young people with psychiatric disorders, where the healthcare professional seems to give up on them more easily than before."

Theo Boer, a healthcare ethics professor at Protestant Theological University in Groningen, served for a decade on a euthanasia review board in the Netherlands. "I entered the review committee in 2005, and I was there until 2014," Boer told me. "In those years, I saw the Dutch euthanasia practice evolve from death being a last resort to death being a default option." He ultimately resigned.

Boer had in mind people like Zoraya ter Beek — who, critics argue, have been tacitly encouraged to kill themselves by laws that destigmatize suicide, a social media culture that glamorizes it, and radical right-to-die activists who insist we should be free to kill ourselves whenever our lives are "complete."

They have fallen victim, in critics' eyes, to a kind of suicide contagion.

A contagion. Sound familiar?

A little data for you:

In 2022, the most recent year for which there is data, Dutch officials recorded 8,720 cases of euthanasia, a 13.7 percent increase from 2021, when there were 7,666 cases.

To put this in perspective, there were a total of 170,100 deaths in the Netherlands in 2022 — meaning euthanasia cases comprised more than 5 percent of all deaths.

And as healthcare decreases in value, this euthanasia program will become more widely used. It's a great out for healthcare providers who don't want to "waste their time" helping a patient. I mean, why spend the time and money to help someone when you can just kill them ethically? (I'm being sarcastic.)

Strange times.

Real quick, going back to Zoraya ter Beek:

There won't be any funeral. She doesn't have much family; she doesn't think her friends will feel like going. Instead, her boyfriend will scatter her ashes in "a nice spot in the woods" that they have chosen together, she said.

"I'm a little afraid of dying, because it's the ultimate unknown," she said. "We don't really know what's next — or is there nothing? That's the scary part."

If only someone had told this beautiful young woman about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Hey, it's not too late.
