Jan Faber and Els van Leeningen, a devoted Dutch couple who met in kindergarten and were married for nearly 50 years, chose to end their lives together through duo-euthanasia in early June. The 70 and 71-year-old couple, who lived much of their lives on boats and in a campervan, were suffering from severe health issues—Jan had chronic back pain and Els was diagnosed with dementia. Their decision, difficult for their son to accept, was made after extensive discussions and with the support of loved ones. This case adds to the growing, yet still rare, instances of duo-euthanasia in the Netherlands. Euthanasia in the country is legal and regulated to ensure it is the choice of the individuals involved. Their story highlights the emotional and ethical complexities surrounding assisted dying, especially when it involves lifelong partners.
