RIO DE JANEIRO: Belgian Paralympian Marieke Vervoort said in Rio on Sunday that she’s still considering euthanasia to escape a life of unbearable physical pain – only not quite yet. “I have my (euthanasia) papers in my hand, but I’m still enjoying every little moment. When the moment comes when I have more bad days than good days, then I have my euthanasia papers, but the time is not there yet,” she told a press conference. Belgium Marieke Vervoort participates in the women's 400 m, during the Rio 2016 Paralympics Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 10 September 2016. “After the Paralympic Games, when I quit, I’m going to enjoy every little moment in my life and I’m going to put more energy in my family and friends, which I couldn’t do with top sports because I had to train every day,” she said.
