IDENTICAL TWIN BROTHERS OPT TO HAVE THEIR LIVES TAKEN...

 Two, identical deaf brothers Marc and Eddy Verbessem were on the 14th of January, 2013 euthanized by Doctors in Belgium.
The brothers who were born deaf decided to take their lives when they realised they will never have to see each other again, as doctors had told them they will go blind.

ABC News reports that they were put to death by lethal injection at the University of Brussels Hospital.
 They, had a cup of coffee and said goodbye to other family members before walking into hospital room together to die, said Dr. David Dufour  "They were very happy. It was a relief to see the end of their suffering,They had a cup of coffee in the hall. It went well and a rich conversation. Then the separation from their parents and brother was very serene and beautiful," he said. "At the last there was a little wave of their hands and then they were gone," Photos after the cut


It has been reported that more than 1,000 people have legally availed themselves of doctor-assisted death; most of them terminally ill patients.
