Canadian Banned Exit Euthanasia TVC.wmv

This TVC was submitted to TVB Canada, the commercial television regulation authority for approval. While TVB initially told Exit the script 'looked fine', the TVC was rejected on 24Sept10 after the regulator stated they had: 'received a great volume of e-mails threatening, pleading and warning us not to approve your commercial, as doing so would be a violation of the Canadian Criminal Code.'

TVB went on to state: 'having the organization name "Exit International" or its logo or its url/web address - www.exitinternational.net - is not acceptable under the Canadian Criminal Code as it could direct viewers to the web to find out more and this would result in the viewer finding out that the organization provides seminars and information that promote, educate and counsel individuals on how to commit suicide.' So much for free speech in Canada!

I'm not trying to start a fight but I HONESTLY don't understand why people would want this for themselves? We aren't animals that go to the vet to be put down. Do we really value human life so little?
