   Euthanasia is illegal in the country, but it occasionally arises in grisly   
   criminal contexts. In 2016, a man killed 19 people in their sleep at a center   
   for people with disabilities outside Tokyo, claiming that such people should   
   be euthanized because    
   they “have extreme difficulty living at home or being active in society.”   
      
   The horrifying incident provided a seed of an idea for Ms. Hayakawa. “I   
   don’t think that was an isolated incident or thought process within Japanese   
   society,” she said. “It was already floating around. I was very afraid   
   that Japan was turning    
   into a very intolerant society.”
