A one-off documentary about physician-assisted suicide by Terry Pratchett, a fantasy writer of Discworld fame. It portrays the process of dying with the Swiss organisation dignitas from the perspective of individuals with terminal neurological conditions and includes the first-person perspective of Pratchett, who has dementia and supports the legalisation of physician-assisted suicide.

Saw it (live in UK so twas on the BBC). Cried.

Seems to be part of a larger political engagement in getting euthanasia, of the type documented, legalized in Britain. Some agitated stuff in the papers about it, and a lot of people I knew were suddenly interested in euthanasia. I reckon there might be serious political pushes to get it legalized in the near future. Sidenote: Does anyone know if Swiss law allows for euthanasia after you are past being able to consent if you've put it in a living will or something and your next of kin agrees? 'Cause that seems like an obvious thing to do.

Will be sad to see Pratchett go, I've loved his books.
