Eh, raising awareness is one thing. Promoting your band by marketing the shock value death is another. I support the right of anyone to live or die according to their own belifs and agenda, but why do we need a band to play, as if it were some kind of entertainment spectacle.

I could see an activist group staging a public event of this nature, but until people are truly free to make this choice themselves, I think it needs to be taken a bit more seriously. People need to see the act as a statement on an important issue, and not as a pay-per-view wrestling-type event.
