© GettyA man was given the lethal injection because he wanted to die
An alcoholic has had his life ended by doctors in Holland because he saw death as the only option.
Mark Langedijk, 41, was euthanised after telling his family that he would rather die than continue living with his addiction.
His brother, Marcel Langedijk, said that he set the date for his own death. He said that he joked, drank beer and ate cheese and ham sandwiches before GPs went to their parents' home to end his life.
Speaking to magazine,
Linda, Marcel said: 'My parents especially have done everything humanly possible to save Mark.
'They adopted his two children, they took him in when his marriage finally collapsed, they helped him find accommodation, they arranged rehab, they gave him money, support and unconditional love.
'Through eight gruelling years and 21 hospital and rehab admissions they continued to believe in a happy ending.'
He found out eight years ago that his brother was struggling with alcohol and said that he was angry with him at first.
But multiple doctors and psychologists were unable to help him and Mark soon began drinking after each stay in rehab.

Hizb ut-Tahrir has been a great supporter of the "revolution" in Syria, i.e., supporting the moderate terrorists. They are relatively marginal in the United States, but their ideology shows that while they do not advocate violent means (they consider themselves a political, intellectual movement), their end goal is the same as the "rebels" in Syria: the creation of an "Islamic State" in the Middle East, thus their support of the "rebels". Gadaffi and Assad both went after this group in the years before the "revolutions" in both countries. There's a video of Ibn Thbait discussing the Syrian "opposition" with Ali Harfouch in 2013. In Part 1, Harfouch makes clear that all the fighting groups are Islamists advocating the creation of an Islamic state (the only secularists are exiles in suits living in foreign countries). In Part 2, Harfouch states: It's an interesting discussion, worth watching. They say that HuT maintains the "purity" of the revolution in Syria, subverting the U.S.'s aims of installing "moderate" groups in power and marginalizing the "radical Islamists" who are attempting to "uproot the political structures/neolib politics", i.e., "excluding Islam". So ironically, the very "moderate" groups we hear about in the news (e.g., Ahrar al-Sham, Noureddin al-Zenki, etc.) are ideologically opposed to those who could even remotely be considered "moderate", and actually disdain the U.S.'s alleged plans for Syria. It's kind of funny how much these guys resemble the neoliberal ideologues and social justice warriors in their apparent naivete about what exactly they are supporting with their respective "revolutions"...
