Isn't this overcomplicating it? Euthanasia doesn't require advertising, it seems like people yearn for it even in places where it isn't allowed.

- BeefWellington 2y agoThese are all the same case. They were all huge headlines in Canada. Note it wasn't a doctor but rather a case worker. This example showed that the system is working well enough it was caught.
