Imagine a feature film that promotes euthanasia as a viable, humane, and moral option for ending human suffering. The main character of the film (who will ultimately kill his terminally ill wife to end her suffering) is portrayed as a kind person who has done many good things for his neighbors and never speaks a harsh word to anyone. He stops to help injured animals, and one of the other characters in the movie says he "wouldn't hurt a flea." What sort of Aristotelian "proof" is the movie providing for its argument about euthanasia through this main character?
