I think it is tacky. But if someone has a point they wish to make, then I guess that would be a good way to make it. I presume a death certificate is public record. If so, then even if it is in poor taste to distribute it, it would not be illegal, or even unethical. That's how I see it. > > It appears to me that the case he trying to make is that her > > Ayurvedic treatments did not cure the cancer in spite of > > claims to the contrary as evidenced by her death.
