The problem isn't the slippery slope; it's the double standard. Assisted suicide should be either illegal for everyone or legal for all competent adults. This is the THIRD time I've posted this comment. Why does it keep disappearing?

Criticizing the double standard about suicide in able-bodied people and disabled people is fine, but it is equally important to criticize the double standard about suicide in terminally ill people and others. Just as it is discriminatory to give disabled people less protection than others against their own suicidal desires, it is discriminatory to give terminally ill people less protection.

27:00 - The doctor's comments and laughter are especially unnerving at this point. One would think that a physician who's ended the lives of 400 adults would view human euthanasia as a tragic last resort to be discussed and/or implemented with a somber sense of duty as opposed to a devil-may-care attitude and incessant laughter.

Dr.Death here seems to thrive on the notion of the 'control' she weilds in assisting people to die...working as she does with abortions on the side.Shes mentioned the word 'control' How many times?! It would be ironic if she herself died suddenly naturally wouldnt it, proving to all and sundry she actually had No 'control'. So much arrogance here packaged prettily and tied with a bow.

This is exactly how the holocaust in Nazi Germany started.......the legalized murder of the physically or mentally disabled started by the concept of there being such a thing as "lives not worthy of life." And it did not stop there. As those of us who don't deny the holocaust well know.

I'm French and your documentary is particularly relevant because in our country, at this very moment, a bill on aid in dying is being debated in the National Assembly. The voices of those affected are once again being stifled, and the few media outlets that agree to give us an audience are discrediting what we have to say. I find the situation frightening. We need to get organised despite the lack of physical and digital accessibility in this country, which couldn't care less about its disabled citizens.

God DAMN this is timely and necessary-thanks for this. I am so scared of what Canada is doing right now I think about this constantly. Coincidentally I would really love to hear more in our movement speaking up for how flawed the choice to ask this of our physicians is in the 1st place 🖤

I was amazed this can happen within in 24 hours in Canada now - without son's, daughters and any bio or family of choice being able to say goodbye; (EG: when a newly married partner gets all income of the deceased)! This 'choice' should be backed up by other personal relationships and pro support of some kind - not just suddenly actualised with 24 hours! And if it is an emergency due to an accident - where does anyone draw the line, which is hugely complex? 😲

A really interesting take on the topic of assisted dying/suicide that I hadn’t considered. Particularly poignant was the point made about how we look at an able person wanting to commit suicide and how we look at a disabled person in the same boat - how we have already written this narrative of disabled meaning suffering and hopelessness, when in reality that is a really pitiful way for society to think about anyone. It’s definitely given me food for thought, being pro-assisted dying prior to watching this. I do feel like it has its place in terminal illness and old age, but you’ve opened my eyes to the fragility of the legislation surrounding it, and the whether the control really rests with the individual or with the government from that perspective.

This is a terrible documentary. I’m severely disabled and have lived through the process of allowing euthanasia in the Netherlands. So I have experienced living in both situations. I feel so much better now that euthanasia allowed. There is no pressure or lack of care. There is more choice en much less of a sense of imprisonment. Yes, criteria for allowing euthanasia do change but only because sick people campaign very hard for that to happen. Not because society thinks disabled people are worthless.
@TransActionTheatreCoАй бұрын
Both sides of the coin and all in-between are needed to be heard and actualised legally and financially for ALL - especially in MOST countries less PRIVILEGED with CHOICE most do NOT have. All systems are failing in the UK and access to health care that is supposed to be free is nearly impossible for most who are not disabled - so may the Goddess help the rest of the world (some of whom are deemed financially worthless in these types of systems sadly)! If a homeless man in Canada nearly chose this versus dying on the streets - I would too in this position - which is shocking xOx

So, if you feel better... maybe stay alive? Tell yourself that the death is anyway "allowed", you are just not given the date yet.

Then you’re in a serious minority, you should just peek for a SECOND under the covers at what the hell is happening in Canada right now. You’re lucky you don’t live in the imperial core. PS wether or not a society is capable of offering assistance in suicide to those who wish it, ALL HUMANITY must come to the agreement that this does NOT belong under the auspices of medicine nor in the hands of our physicians.
