Canada does sort of the same thing to their PTSD troops. They call it MAID, medical assistance in death, and they actively encourage the troops who call their VA (I forget their name for it) to seek MAID because it’s cheaper to kill them than treat their PTSD. They even have counciling for the children who’s parents opted to be euthenized.
The difference here is the chick in the article sought out death. The troops up there are coaxed into it.
She "sought it out" because the State said that it's ok to do so.
