> This was partly due to some very controversial and in my opinion unethical guidelines which mandated morphing instead of oxygen for certain groups of elderly (i.e. involuntary euthanasia)

This is an extremely serious accusation. I live in Sweden and have not seen any reference to this practice mentioned in media.

I saw something related to it in two outlets, the BBC and YLE (finnish news).

The intent was to give palliative care, not literally murder people . Although this source does sound the alarm that the line is thin.

In essence, palliative care for cancer does not translate into the same effect with COVID-19.

If you have not heard of this it is because you're following the wrong media, clear and simple. Even Aftonbladet published on this, there was an open letter in Läkartidningen (doctor's journal), Dagens Medicin wrote on it, the 'alternative' media were all over this, questions were asked in Riksdagen.

Why did you not know? Also, why did you not simply search around a bit to verify the statement before posting your reply?

Applying palliative care on the recommendation of Socialstyrelsen is not euthanasia.
