Mental health is a complex field. The example you reference is quite different from what this article is about and the care involved for each is highly variable depending on the circumstances. Due diligence, again, is highly circumstantial but rarely, if ever, hasty.
In the end, it’s between that person and their care providers. I word it pluraly because significant decisions such as this are not made on a whim or with only having seen a single provider. It’s a matter of years and a lot of labor.
Having read the article, I’m sure you recall how this isn’t something her government readily allows and the decade she had spent making the decision.

Now for a general comment that’s on my mind at this moment, not aimed at you Zozano, but to everyone with strong conditioning against such things (of which I once was myself)…
It truly boggles my mind how folks can be so interested in injecting their beliefs and opinions into other peoples personal lives against those people’s will when there are so many people suffering, literally begging for help, and constantly being ignored. The choices a person makes on matters like these are there own. If we want to help people live healthier lives, then we shouldn’t be focused on people like Zoraya (who don’t want our intrusion) but on those we habitually ignore in desperate need who are all around us near and far.
