The Suicide Tourist

[intheweeds]

Was wondering if anyone else has seen this? This guy was diagnosed with ALS and his health was rapidly deteriorating. He traveled to Sweden for assisted suicide. It even goes so far as to show him drinking the pentobarbital mix at the end.

You can watch it for free here: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/suicidetourist/
I'm not sure if the above video works outside the US though.

Thanks for the link. The video works in Finland at least, but lol at Sweden. Sweden is only ten steps above Finland and that means they are still 90 steps lower than a lot of other countries, like Switzerland.

But I'm happy for him, and I'm happy that assisted suicide is legal in Switzerland. Though I do wish it was legal in Sweden, it would be a lot shorter trip for us Finns.
