Just noticed an interesting coincidence. There are 2 legal cases going on right now about assisted suicide that got in the news very recently :
1. GERMANY, April 8th 2024- A doctor was sentenced to 3 years in jail, for helping a severely depressed woman end her life. He inserted an IV with a fatal medication, but according to him the woman turned the machine on herself. In 2018 he was involved in another legal case, where he helped a woman with a chronic gut-disease end her life, but he was found innocent back then.

2. THE NETHERLANDS, April 8th 2024 - 7 members of a pro-suicide organization are in court for sending at least 640 packages of a fatal substance (which they call "middel X", or something like agent X, if you translate it into english) to people. In front of the courthouse, there were pro-suicide protests.

Just thought it's interesting that these things are happening at the same time.
