ANALYSIS BY COUNTRY
INDIADOMINANT ANGLE
Fascinated distance and editorial silence — the case treated as a European phenomenon with no Indian parallel
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Two articles: factual account plus response from Spanish bishops
- •Noelia's words cited directly — unusual respect for the subject's voice
- •India's legal context (living will 2018) never mentioned
- •Religious voice relayed (bishops)—moral authority as dominant frame
- •Complete editorial silence: no position taken, no Indian mirror
BIASES
Implicit religious lens structuring choice of sourcesCultural impossibility of opening euthanasia debate in Indian contextCase treated as exotic curiosity, not as universal question
RUSSIASTATEDOMINANT ANGLE
Civilizational critique—euthanasia as symptom of Western decline
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS

- •Headline 'They call it mercy' contains the entire Kremlin framing irony
- •Euthanasia presented as symptom of a society having lost its moral compass

- •Orthodox Russia as implicit moral counter-model
BIASES
