Noelia Castillo, a 25-year-old Spaniard, chose euthanasia in 2024 due to severe physical and emotional suffering.
Her suffering stemmed from a turbulent childhood, diagnoses of OCD and Borderline Personality Disorder, and three unreported sexual assaults.
A suicide attempt in 2022 left her paraplegic, which became the turning point for her euthanasia request.
Spain legalized assisted suicide in 2021, and her request was approved in July 2024 after meeting legal criteria.
Her father, supported by Christian Lawyers, legally contested her decision, delaying the process for 20 months across multiple courts.
All courts upheld her decision, recognizing her capacity to choose euthanasia.
Castillo expressed relief at finally being able to end her suffering and requested privacy in her final moments.
