Why do feminists seem indifferent to Noelia?

As reported by Spiked here:

Headline: "Spain is euthanising rape victims now: The tragic death of Noelia Castillo Ramos speaks to the moral depravity of assisted dying."

What makes this case particularly troubling is not only the tragedy of a young woman’s premature death, but also the precedent it sets for others like her. It says that if you have faced abuse, if you are depressed or have a disability, that your life is not worth living. The state would prefer to assist you to die than to help you recover or to live as full a life as possible.

Noelia Castillo Ramos was failed throughout her short life. Those charged with her care failed to protect her from abuse. And then, when the consequences of that failure became too much for her to bear, they helped to end her life. Spain’s euthanasia laws have plumbed new depths of moral depravity.
