Emma Beck - Suicide
Emma Beck, aged 30, a well known British artist committed suicide by hanging following the abortion of twins in February 21 of 2007. Her suicide note, in part read:
- “Living is hell for me. I should never have had an abortion.
- "I see now I would have been a good mum. I told everyone I didn’t want to do it, even at the hospital.
- "I was frightened, now it is too late. I died when my babies died.
- "I want to be with my babies: they need me, no-one else does."
According to her mother, Emma only consented to the abortion to satisfy her boyfriend. Sylvia Beck wrote to the hospital after her daughter's death
- "I want to know why she was not given the opportunity to see a counsellor.
- "She was only going ahead with the abortion because her boyfriend did not want the twins.
- "I believe this is what led Emma to take her own life - she could not live with what she had done."
