What we weren’t told about Terry Pratchett’s ‘award-winning’ euthanasia documentary

What we weren’t told about Terry Pratchett’s ‘award-winning’ euthanasia documentary | NRL News Today: Fantasy novelist Terry Pratchett won a Bafta for his ‘documentary’ Choosing To Die, in which he followed a man with motor neurone disease to Switzerland in order to film him killing himself at the Dignitas facility. The man’s wife, who was clearly very uncomfortable about the whole event, but went along with it out of deference to her husband, was prevented from comforting him as he died by one of the facility staff.

At a recent meeting where Peter Saunders of the Christian Medical Fellowship was speaking a woman told him  she had always supported assisted suicide before seeing the film, but that watching it had caused her to change her mind. She now strongly opposes a change in the law.
