Why make an exception for euthanasia? People should have the right to do anything to their own bodies. The language is interesting, though. At what point does it become "promoting" or "facilitating" suicide? If I tell you I don't plan on suffering a long and painful end, is that promoting suicide? If I tell you that inert gases like nitrogen or carbon monoxide seem like a nice way to go, is that facilitating it?

I wonder how it would play with the CanadianBroadcastCorp. Where assisted suicide is legal. Would accessing CBC require drivers license verification?

Also what form of government ID would be required? I have mates who have really crappy passports from small 2nd/3rd world countries, and that's all they have. Would they be able to visit CBC?
