The Good Death

Streaming video - 2018

Janette is terminally ill and wants to die in a dignified way but this is not permitted under British law. She refuses to wait for death in unbearable pain so she opts for a physician-assisted suicide in Switzerland. Before departing on the final journey she has to explain her intention to the family members and close friends. Her son Simon has also inherited this muscular dystrophy and, therefore, has much more sympathy regarding her decision than her daughter Bridget. Do we own our life or does it own us?
