I didn't come in here to start an argument, I just wanted to make sure that, as someone who's thinking about breeding spiders, they're aware of this issue. I almost bought a spider as my first morph, thinking that they looked cool and being completely unaware of their potential problems... when I found out, I was glad I went with a pinstripe instead.
Fair enough, but of the 4 links you posted only 1 of them even has the words fatal or euthanasia involved.

Of the posts in the 1, 2 people cited anecdotally that they believe maybe possible it may have happened a few times to people who are not themselves that a spider died because it was a spider.

The one person who mentioned problems cited a HGW / Spider breeding, which is known to have severe issues up to death.

TL;DR - until you can find an example of an individual who had a spider die or had to euthanize a spider under his or her own care due to the spider wobble, don't throw the words euthanasia and fatal into a post in context that suggests it as fact.
