"Noelia passed away 20 minutes after the first injection", the moment

Noelia Castillo, a 25-year-old from Barcelona, ​​died on Thursday at the Sant Pere de Ribes assisted living center after a euthanasia procedure, following a court ruling that overturned her father's efforts to stop her.

A video published by Spanish media outlet OK Diario shows the moment her closest friend, Carla Gutierrez, cries and begs two police officers to be allowed to meet Noelia one last time:

"I want to meet him," Gutierrez is heard saying.

"When they transferred him to another school, we lost contact. I didn't know anything about him, please."


However, the police refused the request, saying that this was not within their jurisdiction and reminding the friend that Noelia's wishes should be respected.

In an interview with OK Diario, Gutierrez revealed that they had attended the same high school, but lost contact when Castillo moved to another center, writes VoxNews.

"I wanted to see him to see if he would change his mind, or at least say goodbye," her friend said, adding that she had brought her daughter, who also uses a wheelchair.

Gutierrez also said he had written a letter to Noelia, hoping she would read it before the euthanasia procedure:

“I wanted to see if I could go in, even just me, to see if I could convince him to change his mind,” she added.

The euthanasia procedure began at around 6:30 p.m. local time. Before being executed, Noelia had asked her family to spend more time with her, but she was left alone with the doctor who gave her three injections at around 5:30 p.m. She died about 20 minutes after the first injection, according to her wishes.

The case has attracted great attention in Spain, not only for her young age, but also for the public battle her family waged to ban euthanasia and the circumstances that led her to seek this procedure.

Noelia was left paraplegic after a suicide attempt in 2022, following a sexual assault by three strangers in a nightclub. Before that, she had attempted suicide through a drug overdose. 

Noelia also suffered from borderline personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder with paranoia and suicidal ideation, which caused severe mood swings and instability.

Her request for euthanasia was approved in July 2024 by an independent body in Catalonia, made up of doctors, lawyers and bioethics experts, who assessed her condition as serious and irreversible, with chronic and devastating suffering.

Her father, Geronimo Castillo, attempted to block euthanasia through the courts, arguing that his daughter lacked the free and conscious capacity to make such a decision. He also said there were indications that she might have changed her mind and that her condition did not constitute unbearable physical or psychological suffering.

However, Noelia herself told Spanish television Antena 3 that:

"He has not respected my decision and never will. I want to go now and stop the suffering. The happiness of a father, a mother or a sister cannot be more important than the life of a girl."

The ultra-conservative Catholic organization Christian Lawyers, which represents her father, condemned the event and stressed that the case shows serious shortcomings in euthanasia law, calling for urgent changes to protect the most vulnerable people.

This case has sparked great debate over the right of individuals to choose the end of their lives, the importance of patients' will, and the limits of the law in treating people with profound psychological suffering.
