The StyX Trilogy
The Church of Euthanasia is an experimental performance devised by Moncef Zahrouni as the second chapter of the StyX trilogy which addresses the theme of death. TranStyX, being the first installment of the trilogy, addresses near-death experiences and the afterlife. Church of Euthanasia is a dystopia revolving around mass suicide.
What's The Church of Euthanasia?
The Church of Euthanasia (also known as CoE) is a religious organization, founded by Chris Korda and Robert Kimberk (Pastor Kim) in Boston, Massachusetts in 1992.
As stated on its website, it is "a non-profit educational foundation devoted to restoring balance between Humans and the remaining species on Earth". Its members affirm that this can only turn into a reality by a massive voluntary population reduction, which will depend on a leap in human consciousness to species-awareness. According to Korda, it is likely that this church is the world's only anti-human religion.
