Nathan - Free as a Bird

Nathan Verhelst, a 44 year old man from Sint-Niklaas in Belgium, demanded and received euthanasia after several failed gender operations. Nathan’s backpack of life was filled with rejection and incest. Thinking of himself as a freak, he couldn’t find peace as a woman nor as a man. Three doctors decided that his life quality wasn’t guaranteed anymore and gave Nathan permission for euthanasia.
