Euthanasia would be a feeling of rest
Marieke Vervoort, who won a silver medal at the Rio 2016 Paralympics, says she signed euthanasia papers in 2008 because of the relentless pain of living with an incurable and degenerative spinal condition; however, she has no plans to go ahead with the action yet.
Vervoot began by telling the 大象传媒's Mani Djazmi of the day to day struggled she has to contend with.
