The death of King George V comes to mind. He was very sick, but still alive. His doctor was worried that if he didn’t die fast enough, his death would be reported by tabloids, not the “respectable press.”

So he was given a sedative against his will. His last words, “God damn you”, we’re shouted to the nurse injecting him. Then he was poisoned to death.

And of course things went bad in Germany. “Euthanasia” was not a Nazi innovation. It was being advocated in Berlin throughout the 1920s, from very humane motives.

It was relegalized in Germany a few years ago - I don’t know why it’s excluded from the list of countries that allow it. Bad optics?
