Euthanasia and sex change
There are steps that are irreversible such as the decision to die, which can respond to specific conditions that can be overcome.

The news, more or less prominent, runs through Europe: In Brussels, doctors practiced euthanasia on a 44-year-old man. He didn't suffer from any terminal illness, much less. They did so because of their suffering, it is understood that psychic, "was unbearable", according to the doctors.

First lyre: euthanasia in Belgium, as in the Netherlands, in fact in the few places where it has been legalized, is already applied with criteria of perfect subjectivity. Nothing to do with a terminal illness, and this latest example is a good demonstration. Also, Belgium is under discussion that it is being extended to juveniles, attention to brutality, with the capacity for discernment. That is, another series of doctors, psychologists, will determine whether a teenager who says he wants to die could discern and if he has it will kill him.

I could expand on a reflection on all this and what it entails in the background, but now I want to put the accent on the case of Nathan Verhelst, who changed sex. The reason for her suffering was derived from the operations she underwent to go from being a woman to be a man: hormonal treatments, removal of the breasts and the change of genital formation, something that took place between 2009 and 2012. The reason for this willingness to feel man, came, according to the newspapers, that at home, where he was the fourth child, with three brothers ahead, was not welcome because they wanted a child and a girl was born. But, then, something unforeseen happened. He, as he affirmed, was thinking of finally celebrating his new body, but he says that the first time he saw himself in the mirror what he felt was an aversion towards himself. And this is the cause that unleashed his suffering that ended with death.

It is a very sad story, which should serve as a warning to all these games about human nature, life, and death. Some steps are irreversible such as the decision to die, which can respond to specific conditions that can be overcome. There are other changes, also irreversible, that are practically also so, such as transforming from woman to man, cutting their breasts and transforming the male genitalia. Our European society is increasingly playing a small god, in some countries more than in others, and the results are becoming more fearsome.

Euthanasia is a terrible solution because death is nothing, and sex change, when it involves radical transformations in the person, should be something done in very particular circumstances and with many limitations because otherwise, the results can throw the person to despair. Instead of acting with these limits and these preventions, there is a whole culture that does the exact opposite: it proclaims without any reflection the goodness of euthanasia and presents transsexuality, even though its name indicates a transient state, as one of the possible identities of the human being. This is what the gay lobby does when it is systematically renamed GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender). What are the problems of a psychic nature, which carry physical risks, such as transsexuality, rise to the level of identity and this is a brutal mistake as well? European society, to a large extent the Spanish one fully, is sinking into its contradictions. He has entered the maze of desires and, as he continues through it, not only will he never find his way out but will, in the end, achieve a catastrophic result.
