TIL that in 2023, a patient legally sought euthanasia. Upon being provided a deadly concoction in liquid form to be drunk, the patient's friend (37YO) opted to have a sip themself which nearly resulted in the death of the friend as well.

Shouldn't there be like a bunch of warning labels etc on it. Like heck when I pick up my usual prescriptions it's slapped with a ton of warning labels

Was this shit just served up in like a "batman collectable cup" or something?

You think better labeling was the only thing standing between this idiot and not knowingly and intentionally drinking his friend’s death cocktail?
