@WSJ He just rubber stamped the death of a young woman who saw no value in life after being gang-raped while in the state's care. Horrific.

@dodderidge @BMcGrewvy Yes - she did. The difference here is the state's involvement, approval and enablement (the same state which had not safeguarded her in its own care earlier).
English
@capt_goodfellow @BMcGrewvy Awful things happened to her, but she still had the options that most other people in similar circumstances pursue, but instead chose to end her life.
Quibbles over semantics are beside the point.
English
The Noelia Castillo Ramos story is just so horrible. Every single step of it is a horror. Her poor father who tried to fight for her and lost in the courts.
English
@dodderidge @BMcGrewvy If only she'd snapped out of it!
English
@capt_goodfellow @BMcGrewvy I mean she could have gone, “Huh, this seems to be really distressing to my parents. Maybe I’ll hold off on it.”
But she didn’t.
English
@dodderidge @BMcGrewvy I think the point is that she felt she had no choice, and saw no value in living, because of crimes committed against her - things not under her control. Suicide isn't a method of coping - because now she's dead.
English
@capt_goodfellow @BMcGrewvy Sure, but she made her own decision to cope with that by ending her own life, as far as I can tell. Nobody seems to have forced her.
English
@j4ppleby After what has just happened in Spain, I hope it never darkens the UK's door.
English
@dodderidge @BMcGrewvy Being raped, by definition, was not her choice.
English
@BMcGrewvy It’s awful, but at the end of the day she bears responsibility for her choices.
English
@CarilynJohnson Me too. I'll never forget it. It's very distressing. She was failed by so many.

This story will haunt me forever. When I saw her best friend being refused entry to see her because they were afraid it would make her change her mind about letting them kill her, I was chilled to the bone. These people are monsters.

@BBCNews Everything about this story is horrific, including the BBC's initial coverage of it. She was failed by so many.

@JournalistJill It's one of the most distressing stories I've ever heard. Everything about it is desperately sad - and wrong.
English
I didn’t think this story could get worse…
Dr. Heidi Klessig@heidiklessigmd
According to her lawyer, Noelia Castillo Ramos cannot change her mind about undergoing euthanasia because her organs are already committed. Her lawyer highlights the hospital’s conflict of interest in this case, because Noelia’s organs are worth millions in billable charges. This graphic is from the 2025 Milliman report on transplant charges:

@AjaTheEmpress Me too. I cried about her yesterday. Everything about the story is horrific.
English
I'm not ashamed to say this story has broken me, it should break everybody.
pagliacci the hated 🌝@Slatzism
she was gang-raped by migrants and her rapists got absolutely no jail time, she then tried to kill herself, became paralyzed by the attempt, and then asked the state to finish her off in the name of “mercy.” everyone failed this woman. genuinely soul crushing.
English
@WingsScotland I'm old enough to think I've seen and heard it all, and then this happened. Distressing, tragic, horrific.
English
@godblesstoto Agreed - hard to think of a more distressing story. Everything about it is awful. That poor woman.
English
In every possible aspect, this story is one of the worst things I've ever read. That poor girl. Failed by everyone.

Sometimes, you think you've lived long enough to have seen it all, heard it all. But then a news story appears that makes you realise you really hadn't. Desperate for a miraculous intervention in this case.

@LBC This is one of the most upsetting stories I've ever read. I'm desperate for some kind of miraculous intervention.

@WestminsterWAG I'm desperate for miraculous intervention in this case. Beyond sad.

This is a truly shocking case that will no doubt prompt much discussion. From what we know of the facts, this poor girl had a terrible upbringing and suffered an appalling trauma as a result. Life has clearly broken her, physically and mentally.
