The owners of the store at Tipton Gas Bar in Lake Cowichan, B.C., were baffled when a black bear walked in and stole a bag of gummy bears.
I don't want the bear to die. But that doesn't change that the word doesn't imply consent.
The word literally means “good death”, meaning for a good reason. Consent is one such reason, terminal illness is another, stealing gummy bears… is not.
