Or assisted-suicide. In the 2003, there was a SARS outbreak in Toronto and it made heavy national news in Canada. There was a lot of effort spent on controlling the outbreak before it broke out into an epidemic. The chief doctor behind that battle died last week. His name was Dr. Donald Low.

Eight days before he died from a brain tumour, he made a video pleading for Canada to change its laws against assisted-suicide (assisted suicide did not fit in the title so I used euthanasia) and had it released after his death.

The video and article in link.
