A gay Belgian man who says he cannot accept his sexuality has asked for the right to die using his country's radical euthanasia laws.

The 39-year-old claims he is enduring extreme psychological suffering and that his sexuality has made him 'a prisoner in my own body'.

The man – identified only as Sebastien – is now undergoing medical assessments to check whether his wish to die is in line with the country's 14-year-old euthanasia laws.

If three doctors approve his request to die by lethal injection it will mark a new step towards routine euthanasia for people who see themselves as sexual misfits.

Three years ago Belgium allowed 44-year-old transsexual Nathan Verhelst, who was born Nancy, the right to die because of his suffering after a botched sex-change operation.

Sebastien said he is attracted to young men and adolescent boys, but that he is scarred from a difficult childhood, during which his mother was ill and he was brought up according to a strict Roman Catholic ethos.

He told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme that he had undergone 17 years of counselling, therapy and medication and that he believed he had no option but to ask for death.

'My whole life has led me to this, really,' he said. 'My mother had dementia so I wasn't right, mentally. All that was instilled in me, so I was extremely lonely, very inhibited physically – scared to go out, hugely shy. I didn't want to be gay.

The number of recorded euthanasia cases in Belgium passed the 2,000 a year mark in 2015 (stock photo)

'I have always thought about death. It is a permanent suffering, like being a prisoner in my own body. A constant sense of shame.'

The shift to allow death on request for those with sexual difficulties is controversial among doctors in Belgium, who last year saw the number of recorded euthanasia cases pass the 2,000 a year mark.

But there is no way it's a mental issue.

Just kill them.

The man in the OP is attracted to adolescent boys and knows it's wrong and has tried years of intensive counseling to prevent it. But he is still attracted to something that he knows is wrong. I can see why he wants to be euthanized. He probably is tired of fighting against his natural urges. He doesn't want to hurt anyone. I feel sorry for him.

 Most people can find it in their hearts to have compassion for him.

I feel sorry for him, too. He's not just a gay man, he's a pedophile, and doesn't want to be.

Honestly, though, there should be a place these people can go where there are no children. An option other than death. You think if he had an option that would remove temptation, he would choose death?

He would have to be exiled somewhere that he couldn't get out and no one else could get in. That would be a difficult choice to make. How could he have a job? Is that a life worth living? I wouldn't want to just exist. I would want to live.

 So, why not try some surgery to make him a eunuch.  Maybe that would be effective for him.  At least it seems like a reasonable step compared to death.

I don't know if they have offered him that option.

I would think castration should be done before death, don't you?

 I don't think I could ask someone to volunteer for that. If they would rather be dead than castrated, that's their choice.
