The medical homicide bothers me less than the weird social media angle surrounding it.

Like it think it's a pretty dangerous precident to set for doctors to get involved but I don't get much outrage from someone who themselves wants to kill themselves doing so, it's just sad.

What really bothers me is that the social media attention might lead to immitation.

Honestly, this is similar to the abortion debate, and with physician-assisted suicide the "safe, legal, and rare" is even more needed. When the euthanasia is for "someone's at the end of a terminal disease and they're in too much pain, and it's putting them out of their misery" is perfectly reasonable.

This one of "so...you're having euthanasia because you're tired all the time?" is not only past the "euthanize them because they're depressed", but goes past it to "...some kid broke up with his high school girlfriend who he's sure was his twoo wuv and wants to be euthanized for it" in "hell no."
