The whole story is waaaaay more interesting than one would think too.

"Ten years ago, while travelling in Costa Rica, he was a passenger in a small plane that crashed in the jungle, killing the pilot, co-pilot and a passenger. Packard sustained multiple serious injuries to his abdomen and upper body. The rescuers that found the remaining five passengers after two nights in the jungle said they wouldn’t have survived another night."

There seems to have been a TV show called "I shouldn't be alive" or something like that that featured him.

Speaking of labour intensive projects - there are many copycat channels out there on YouTube by now. Especially the swimming pool video is posted regularly on Reddit. I think it's faked beyond believe / certainly not done by one man alone, but would it be feasible to dig one without any help, in your opinion?

Still seems like a silly idea anyway, even with help, creating a pool of stagnant water for mosquitoes to thrive in...

when it dries it doesn't dissolve in water

I was thinking the same. The water stays WAY too clear for what is basically a glorified man-made mud pool.

Euthanasia is a whole different beast. Where I live (the Netherlands) it's legal, but it takes three separate doctors (that can't be coworkers) to confirm it's in the best interest of the patient requesting euthanasia. (There's a whole protocol to safeguard the ethics and procedures surrounding euthanasia.)

But of course there could be some deranged doctors/nurses that think they are 'mercy killers' out there...
