The ad campaign had featured the story of 37-year-old British Columbia woman Jennyfer Hatch, who on October 23 had opted to die by doctor-assisted suicide due to chronic pain she experienced from having Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
uebec-based clothing company Simons removed its controversial advertisement campaign “All is Beauty” – the accompanying video featured the title “The Most Beautiful Exit” – after facing numerous accusations that the promotion glamorized assisted suicide.
The campaign, which initially launched in late October, sparked controversy on social media throughout November. As of December 1, the ads are no longer present on the company’s official website or YouTube page.
The ad campaign had featured the story of 37-year-old British Columbia woman Jennyfer Hatch, who on October 23 had opted to die by doctor-assisted suicide due to chronic pain she experienced from having Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

Liberals will find an excuse to kill every innocent man, woman or child they possibly can. Mention executing a serial killer and they go into hysterics.
White people finally back in commercials!!!
Should also have thrown her into one of today's many active volcanos on the off chance it would also placate some stone age god.
Honestly do not see what euthanasia has to do with selling clothes unless the stock holders truly want to lose their last dime.
What is all of this fuss about Asian youth?
“Mention executing a serial killer and they go into hysterics.”
Yeah, for good reason too. He could be innocent!
“Fail. No stumblebum, goofy Caucasian male husband, father, partner and no obvious bipoc/female husband/partner.”
Yeah, because they were trying to show what responsible, intelligent white people are supposed to do.
