Under Belgian law, euthanasia is legalized. Anyone can go tell their doctor that they want to be euthanized and it can happen. In December 2012, two identical twin brothers made the joint decision to die together. Both twins were born deaf and struggled with this their entire lives. The only thing they had was each other. In early 2012, they found out that they soon may both go blind. They couldn’t bare the thought of not being able to see each other so as opposed to living with both deafness and blindness, they decided they’d rather die.
