	Edward Brongersma
		Edward Brongersma (1911 - April 22, 1998) was for a number of years a member of the Dutch Tweede Kamer ("Second House" or Senate), and chairman of the Tweede Kamer's Judiciary Committee.
		He had requested euthanasia because, although he was not terminally ill and was not in any pain or suffering, he was lonely, no longer felt useful, was 'tired of life' and believed his life was no longer worth living.
		The Dutch Ministry of Justice appealed the acquittal; the appeal court overturned the original acquittal and convicted Sutorius, on the grounds that the kind of psychological suffering Brongersma was afflicted with was not what was meant by 'unbearable and unending pain or suffering' in Dutch euthanasia law.
