Noelia Castillo, the 25-year-old paraplegic from Barcelona, announced on Antena 3 that she will receive euthanasia this Thursday, March 26. The announcement comes the same day the European Court of Human Rights (TEDH) rejected the latest precautionary appeal filed by her father, Gerónimo Castillo, represented by Abogados Cristianos.

Noelia Castillo, 25 years old and paraplegic since a suicide attempt in October 2022 following a multiple sexual assault, requested euthanasia in April 2024. The Commission of Guarantee and Evaluation of Catalonia (CGAC) approved it unanimously on July 18, 2024, as she met the law's requirements: non-recoverable clinical situation with severe dependency, pain, and chronic suffering.
