    I read that whole thread earlier and it's sofucked up. One of the parents tried to cancel the order because they didn't recognize it, and Amazon confirmed the cancellation but sent it anyway. And the CBS producers repeated saying they were going to air the segment, even talking with family members, until almost the last minute and then just saying "sowwy but the higher ups don't like it :(". And the whole suggested products to make the suicide complete, a scale to measure out the dose, and even briefly suggesting the antidote too. Just incredibly sickening shit and it's wild that Amazon has previously quit selling things that can be used as recreational drugs but have no problem selling literal poison after multiple deaths. I hope they all burn in hell

      I can see CBS not deciding to air a segment on it not out of cowardice but because in the absence of some sort of law enforcement preventing its sale they're just advertising a suicide method to millions by talking about it, which could directly lead to more deaths

        Which of course begs the question they will never ask "why are there so many people who we think would do it?"
