Try thinking on the meta level instead of the object level. In 2008 North America the idea of government-run euthanasia was far beyond the pale, with even "Death with Dignity" advocates only proposing it as an optional for people suffering from terminal cancers and other edge cases. Now 14 years later the Canadian government is euthanizing people for "hearing loss". This is a definite cultural shift that should be remarked upon.
