The Spin
Narrative A
Seeking to capitalize on the pain and suffering of others, Law is a murderer who preyed upon the suicidal ideations of vulnerable people, leading to the tragic deaths of over a hundred. He is more of a serial killer than the merciful savior he paints himself to be and should be punished to the full extent of the law for his crimes.
Narrative B
While the allegations against Law are abhorrent, this case calls attention to the paradox at the heart of Canada's legal system, which — rightly — makes every effort to prevent suicides while at the same time takes a careless approach to medically assisted suicide. If found guilty, Law should indeed face the full extent of the law, but this case should also prompt Ottawa to reform its policies.
