A 19-year-old female has been effectively sentenced to her death after a judge decided that the experts know best, rejecting the young woman’s pleas to live.
The Christian teenager — whom the world is only allowed to know as “ST,” per the courts — suffers from a rare genetic mitochondrial disease, which causes chronic muscle weakness, loss of hearing, and damage to the kidneys; she’s currently dependent on regular dialysis, a feeding tube, and other intensive care. Notably, though, ST’s mental capacity is not affected by the disease.
