Please provide shocking examples, especially for Switzerland. I'm eager to learn about real arguments from the other side.

Please provide shocking examples, especially for Switzerland. I'm eager to learn about real arguments from the other side.
Netherlands: Aurelia Brouwers, 29, with depression and autism (non-terminal), euthanized in 2018; critics cite expansion to mental illness and potential coercion risks.
Switzerland: 8% of assisted deaths involve mental disorders like severe depression; cases show weak oversight, allowing non-terminal approvals despite coercion concerns.
Canada: 2022 Veterans Affairs cases: Caseworkers offered MAiD to 4+ veterans in poverty seeking benefits, indicating systemic coercion and cost-saving motives.
Oregon: Kate Cheney, 85, with early dementia (mental/non-terminal elements), approved 1999 amid daughter pressure suspicions; evaluations noted influence but oversight permitted despite weak safeguards.
