In many parts of the world this practice is against the law however in some countries it's something that is requested commonly by people, one of those countries is Belgium.
Music artist Uniekgrace works as a nurse alongside her singing and revealed in an interview with Ibe Giantkiller, on the Saturday Gospel Breakfast show, how she manages her job and her faith: "for me, its not a challenge, but I can understand why it is a challenge. I pray for anybody on the hospital bed, I tell them what I'm about to do." The artist said she sees her nursing as a ministry and a calling, sharing how even her boss knows of her calming presence and the hospital alike, calling her 'Sunshine Girl'.
The singer also noted how she talks with people before they're about to die, saying: "I was there before a lady died and I felt led to tell her 'when you're ready to go it's okay', I could tell she was scared of death but I held her hand and told her it's okay. I went home and went back the next day and she was gone."
Ibe asked Uneikgrace about euthanasia and how she deals with patients who make the request to end their lives: "it's heavy, I cry every time a patient asks for euthanasia, I had a difficult time with a patient when I asked 'are you a believer?' me hoping she'd say yes, she said no, I'm like 'shoot' because the next question I want to ask is 'does your pastor know you're asking for euthanasia?'"

Euthanasia is the act of deliberately ending a person's life to relieve suffering. For example, it could be considered euthanasia if a doctor deliberately gave a patient with a terminal illness a drug they do not otherwise need, such as an overdose of sedatives or muscle relaxant, with the sole aim of ending their life
