Although Feffolte's choice has always been controversial, leaving is a relief for her. Today, about five people in Belgium, with the help of doctors, inject euthanasia with the help of doctors, including terminally ill patients and those with chronic diseases and no life-threatening patients.
Belgian Paralympic champion Feffolte reportedly made the final decision, ending her 40-year-old life by taking euthanasia drugs prescribed by doctors at her home in the eastern part of the country. She is said to have fought the disease for 26 years since she was confirmed to have a spinal disease at the age of 14.
Feffolte suffered from progressive muscle weakness caused by spinal lesions, which caused her leg disability and continued pain and almost no sleep, Agence France-Presse reported Wednesday. For her, living itself became a form of torture. Although she was confirmed to be ill at the age of 14, she began her career in sports with great enthusiasm. She has played wheelchair basketball, swam, and participated in Triathlon.
Fefferte was originally a normal person, but since 2000, her body has been in condition and has been diagnosed with degenerative myelitis, a rare incurable disease, which means she can no longer walk upright and can only rely on wheelchairs. In order to recover, Feffolte began wheelchair basketball exercise, ready to participate in the 2007 Hawaiian Triathlon all-around competition. However, the sudden deterioration of her illness had to let her bid farewell to the all-around race and take part in wheelchair sprinters.
In 2008, feldt has signed a deal, the content of which is that one day in the future, a doctor can end her life. At last, a statement from her home said: ""On Tuesday, Fefeldt cashed the deal." may not be familiar with Feldt in other countries, but in Belgium, she is a well-known sports star, a man of life, and a life fighter trying to pursue a dream."
She also had a brilliant career, winning gold medals in the women's 100m wheelchair sprint and silver in the 200m event at the 2012 Paralympic Games in London. At the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games, she won silver and bronze in the 400-meter event. But before the Rio Paralympic Games, her eyesight was said to have deteriorated and she suffered from seizures. Just after the meeting, she announced that she would not continue her career.

In 2016, she said: "euthanasia is not about euthanasia, it's about living longer." In an interview, she said she was suffering from illness every day, but competition and training drove away fear. For euthanasia, she expressed support: "I am really scared, but those documents make me very reassuring, because I know that when I feel enough, I have those files." If there were no these documents, I think I had killed myself. I think if there were euthanasia laws in every country, there would be fewer suicides. "
Outstanding performance and strong will made Fefferte a household name in Belgium, and the King and Queen of Belgium granted her aristocratic status in 2013. But no amount of honor can resist the pain of suffering from serious illness. Feffolte, a healthy girl, was suddenly diagnosed with a rare spinal disease in 2000, which not only paralyzed her left leg, but also became paralyzed in less than a year. Fefferte, who had been suffering from illness for a long time, was supposed to need round-the-clock care, but she stubbornly raised a Labrador to tell everyone that she had to adapt to life alone. . But the worsening condition still makes it impossible for Fiffolt to support herself, driving his first show in a car at the Montreal track in Belgium, and the 40-year-old is currently arranging her own business after completing her dream. "I have a lot of dreams coming true, but there is one last one." She said.
Malaysia's Xingzhou Daily reported earlier that Feffolte had one last wish to drive a Lamborghini race before ending his life. "I like the pleasure of speed and enjoy adrenalin passing through the body," she said. "I'm ready." Belgium has approved euthanasia since 2002, and euthanasia can be carried out legally with the permission of three doctors. Feffolte is quite calm about her decision. "people always see the smile of victory after I win the gold medal, but no one can see me who is extremely ill and struggling in the dark," she said. "I was in pain." For a long period of insomnia, at one point, he could hardly sleep for less than 10 minutes a night. "
Imagine fighting for your dreams on the track while preparing your own funeral for incurable diseases. Is there a more sad picture than this? But this is not the plot of the film, it is happening to a Belgian champion.
