Belgium Will Euthanize Jailed Rapist Who Doesn't Want to Live Anymore
Allie Jones · 09/16/14 04:15PMBelgium's authorities have agreed to euthanize Frank Van Den Bleeken, a prisoner serving a life sentence for rape and murder. Even though the country doesn't have the death penalty, authorities have let prisoners with terminal illnesses be put to death since 2002. Van Den Bleeken's illness, however, is psychiatric—he says his desire to be sexually violent will never go away.
