Why do people get euthanized? And how can we create a culture where euthanasia is unthinkable?

So, what can we do? Right now, Amanda Achtman is on a mission to end euthanasia in Canada. Through her project Dying to Meet You, Amanda is creating a hopeful, life-affirming alternative to counter cultural despair.
