Help Save Belén: Benalmadena appeal raises hard questions about euthanasia

A homeless woman named Belén in Benalmadena has requested euthanasia due to severe pain and poverty. An association called El Vuelo de las Libélulas is raising €13,000 to help her access medical, psychological care and find a safe place to live. Belén's spinal surgery left her unable to work, and she struggles to afford treatment. Spain legalized euthanasia in 2021, but it does not guarantee it for those facing social issues like homelessness. The debate about assisted dying extends beyond Spain and even Canada.
