  • When I die, I would like to go peacefully, in my sleep, like my grandfather. Not screaming in terror like his passengers - Jack Handey

  • i am for assisted suicides......if u r terminally ill, living is cruel. we live in a modern world, one should have the right to die if he/she chooses. no one not even your country can deny you of that right.

  • The most vehemently opposed to the voluntarily termination one’s life with medication are the church and in particular the Vatican and contemporary Christian

    Fundamentalists. When will these religious crackpots realise that people don’t want them meddling in their affairs ? They say only God has the right to end peoples

    lives. What utter, pompous arrogant tripe. Go away and keep your fairytales amongst yourselves, you are not wanted or needed.

  • the 55 second "NASA Gives Graphic Details of Columbia Deaths" nasa columbia video from associated press is third from top on my righthand side . why is that ?

  • That was a very strong documentry and if you have a strong heart, u should watch it. 

  • Looking at the preview image I prayed that it would show Gordon Brown dying :)

  • yeah lets all die in pain the way god intended

  • @sd732010 you believe in god you my friend are confused

  • @taags hehe

  • @taags stfu

  • its my body and if i want to end it i should be able to

  • fuck islam

  • @taags fuck you~

  • @taags fuck off fag

  • Typical Americans

  • @TheWastedfreak fuck you

  • @tcw5000 well fuck you too :)

  • @TheWastedfreak ... if I was richer, I'd still be witcha... well ain't that some shit?

  • but if you come to think about it., assisted suicide shouldnt have existed in

    Switzerland in the first place....

  • look. if your termanily ill, or paralised, if you wish to die and your country wont let you, then THATS cruel. if an animal is in severe pain you put it down. but humans must suffer

  • How the hell can you allow someone to die ,its a cruelty you could have done counselling loved him and taught him about Islam because Islam emphaises Life in the Herefater Better than the worldly life ,Please donot die or suicide ,

  • @fyunuskhan Islam is a shit religion and i hope you drowned in a sea of pigs blood and entrails.

  • @fyunuskhan - I feel sorry for you if you think that the best part of your existence will be after you are dead. There is no evidence of this whatsoever. You just want to believe it as you are too much of a coward to accept the truth about existence.

    It is my existence and if I choose to end it then that is my choice and no one has the right to stop me.

    My own sister has a brain disease and is planning this for herself.

  • please Embrace Islam before you die its the religion Of Moses Jesus and aBRAHEM ,pbuh them all and prohet muhammad saws

  • @fyunuskhan Its a religion that says to kill Christians and gays - so FUCK YOU!!!

  • its not a stunt, its an attempt to educate people about assisted suicide! i really dont understand how anyone can be AGAINST ill people commiting suicide. people have the right to do what they wish with their own bodies. making assisted suicide illegal is denying those people the right to a calm and painless death. why do you think people jump in front of trains or off buildings when its so messy? because its very difficult to kill yourself!

  • The right to assisted suicide is a fundamental part of self-ownership. I'm sorry religious people, but if I am ever in that position I will want to take this option, and I don't give a flying fuck if you feel a bit "iffy" about it. If you would be willing to suffer agony and humilation for months or even years then fine, but don't force that upon anyone else.

  • So why can we not take a humans life who is terminally ill, and is asking for it? Because we shouldn't play God? Then explain to me what hospitals do every single day they save someones life? I believe they are playing God

  • for that thing he was using for the words .. he shouldve gotten dragon ... :p

  • Interesting how so many posts on this topic have turned into a faith v atheist argument. Why is this important? Well I saw one debate which stayed suicide is a sin. It's only a sin if you're brand of faith says so. My view is that there is no god, so it's up to man to decide if suicide is legal or acceptable. When we have an animal in pain we do it the favour of euthanasia yet we do not give humans this option in most countries. This is often based on religious arguments. The person whose life

  • in soviet russia god created humans. just saying.

  • @IHavoc131 in soviet russia your fucken annoying...

  • If you are terminally ill and in extreme pain you should have a right to end your life.

  • @kieran29700 hence many go to switzerland

  • "...ratings-grabbing stunt" Hell no! By what standards? We euthanize guinea pigs, rats, dogs, cats, horses, cows, bulls, birds, hamsters, etc., etc., to stop them from suffering in their late years of life, yet humans are expected to suffer until death? I'm sorry, but what's wrong here?

  • I believe in assisted suicides. Obviously this is a choice to put someone out of misery. We don't think twice about putting our beloved pets to sleep but let humans suffer? Please explain the logic here.

  • If someone is going to kill themselves then their is NOTHING anyone can do about it, so making it legal or illegal is kind of stupid. What are you going to do serve time in jail after you die? Only issue I have is with Drs helping, or anyone making money off of it.

  • There's an episode of The Mentalist where Patrick Jane assists a man that has decided to go out with dignity in his final minutes (won't go into detail, don't want to spoil anything for anyone).

    I have to say it was an excellent example of humanity and how assisted suicides are a necessity for some people.

  • I love Dyson fans for putting and ad up before this video.

  • you people are weird... you denounce God and speak so blasphemous about him... but if you dont believe in him how can you insult him?

    I have a news flash you can shout all the derogatory remarks you want but if you dont believe in God then who are you blaming?

    News flash, everyone suffers and 90% of suffering comes from the hand of man

    Pray to your lord who created us all, who has no partners, he is eternal and forever, and is most merciful....

  • @mbpatelss4 It would have been easier if God never made terminal cancer or childhood lukemia. Why, in a world of religion are we made sick and commanded to be well? No groveling to a mythical father figure will cure us from anything - we have to change things ourselves.

  • @jazz4... hes not your father, or even a father.... he is your lord... he gave you life.... you dont own anything, not even your body.... should you suffer from a natural disease, then on the day you meet your God an he asks you what you did with your life you can say .. Lord you gave me this disability/problem/disease, and i still worshipped you and you think God will not be pleased....

    With faith comes change, because within faith is morality and justice...

  • @mbpatelss4 No, 100% of all suffering comes from the hand of man. God does not create suffering, nor does any devil. Man was given free will, and with it, we create suffering ourselves. You smoke, you get cancer. You eat shitty food, you get plugged arteries. You have children in third-world countries, they starve to death. You live in big societies with races and religions and differences of opinions, you get persecuted, hated, and maybe even tortured and killed. Man is at fault for ALL of it.

  • @galathonredd wow, you are willing to actually claim that it's their own fault that African children are starving and contracting AIDS just to reassure yourself of your faith in a fairy tale. You people make me sick, you will say anything, no matter how ludicrous it is just to convince yourself that "god" is real and good. No wonder more and more people are seeing religion for the fraud and lies that it is.

  • @MultiTrollHunter I said man is at fault for man's turmoil. You want me to suggest someone else is? How dos this support your position that there is no God? Lemme ask you, if Man is not at fault for Man's troubles, who, praytell, is? How can you claim "God is evil" and "there is no God" at the same time?

    At least what I said makes fucking sense. I'm done feeding the trolls here.

  • @galathonredd are you seriously that stupid? i'm interested to know what your day job is for you to be that stupid. Atheists aren't blaming god for troubles because they do not believe he is real, they are simply asking how how religious people possibly claim god is all good and kind if, based on their own rules of belief that god controls everything, he lets horrible things happen. Surely this either proves that A. god isn't real or B. if god is real, he sucks.

  • @MultiTrollHunter Good cover. You said something really stupid, so point the "Stupid Cannons" on me and fire, hoping everyone believes you. Well done. Review what you said. You blamed God for evil. I took the Atheist stance of blaming man. You got mad 'cause you can't win with standard Atheist logic, because I agree with too much of it. Now you accuse me of being stupid. Case closed.

    My day job is making stupid trolls look stupid. My work here is finished.

  • @mbpatelss4 so. you've never watched a film and had negative emotions towards a bad character? Even though he isn't real? You are an idiot.

  • @MultiTrollHunter.... why are you calling me an idiot for, if so you are an idiot using a stupid example when i am clearly on about a subject matter that far exceeds, no, supercedes that of a movie and its characters... your comparing my feelings towards God, with your feelings towards what? movies and actors acting.... you blame God for real life events, when you dont believe in him?

    can you not dissociate the difference between the real world and a movie

    global warming freddy krugers fault?

  • @mbpatelss4 way to totally miss my point. hahhaahaah I guess your feeble Christian mind cannot grasp the concept of abstract thinking. Everything gotta be black and white for you.... "god = good.... atheist = bad...yaaaaaaaay i go to heaven"

  • @MultiTrollHunter... But a movie is purely fiction, so i can hate a made up character for something fictional that has occured in the movie. But how can you hate on God for real life tragedies if you dont believe in him, my "feeble mind" does understand what you are trying to say but your metaphor is not legitimate, you speak bad of god due to real life events, and yet you do not believe in him, how can you insult someone that you believe to be fictitious, based on real tragedies?

    understand?

  • @mbpatelss4 God is purely fiction. I don't "hate" god. I simply fail to understand how christians can proclaim his greatness when horrible tragedies happen on a daily basis around the world. I'm not "blaming" god for them because I do not believe he is real, i am simply questioning how a Christian who does believe in god can excuse him of these occurring because due to their beliefs he must be he cause of them.

  • @MultiTrollHunter... Just because you cant understand why a man is faithful, you think it gives you the right to insult him and his beliefs?

    it shows how much of an intorelable human being you are, that you feel the need to come on to youtube and try to harass someone about their beliefs just because you cant understand them. and you called me feeble minded.

    dude i hope that you find faith and if not i hope you have a peaceful life...

    oh and im not a christian ;)

  • @mbpatelss4 I'm an "intorelable human being" simply because i question your faith in an invisible being? You know it would be much more creditable if you religious types tried to shut Atheists up by providing actual evidence for your wild claims rather than simply insulting the person who questions them. I understand that "faith" is believing something despite logic and sense stating otherwise. You could always pray to you god to convert, maybe that will work ;)

  • @MultiTrollHunter... but you didnt "simply question my beliefs" you called me an "idiot" and "feeble minded", simply because YOU cant understand why i believe...

    im sorry for calling you an intolerable human being... if you want proof then there is one book that i can refer to you that so far scientist have not been able to disprove one single fact that is within... read this book for yourself... it is called the QURAN...

    and i will pray for you, maybe it will work... Peace

  • @mbpatelss4  isn't that the book that suicide bombers quote from right before they kill innocent people? Think i'll give that one a miss.

  • i think if someone is going to die anyways, and suffer until death, he should have the option to humanely euthanize himself.

  • vote up if you thought the dude with the purple tie was going to die

  • If you kill yourself you go to hell, thats how it is. Suicide is a mortal sin, i wish more of you would open your minds to that instead of agreeing with this. I understand his wishes, and with all due respect sometimes it seems like the right thing because someone is suffering, but there's bigger things out there than all of this. Pain is a state of mind, a sickness that can be cured and is only there to drive you to the devil. I don't care if you don't believe me, but you'll see one day.

  • @hellexistsidiots NOONONONO! There are NO bigger things than us. GROW UP

  • @darthlopez No bigger things than us? Earth is bigger than us, the universe is bigger than us, i'm pretty sure whatever's outside the universe is pretty damn bigger than us so sdfu. And it's you day-to-day life consumers that are turning the world into a very different place. So instead of having a go at me, why don't you take a very long look in a mirror & start doing something about it, because you may think us humans are everything, but we're not. we die like every other creature on earth.

  • @hellexistsidiots how about the people which actually died of sickness god really doesn't give a fuck about us were just toys

  • @hellexistsidiots Lmao who told you that your church!! Your brainwashed Seriously get your head out of your ass for one sec and look around you!!!

  • If I wanna off myself I'll fucking off myself.

  • GOD BROUGHT YOU HERE ONLY HE CAN TAKE YOU AWAY, COULDNT CARE LESS WHAT YOUR SUFFERING FROM!!!!!!!

  • @donot0991 wow, there are some very small minded people... you are just one of them!

  • @donot0991 your a fucking idiot i hope you die asap and only the devil exists so you can burn in hell with your diabetic mother

  • @donot0991 PLEASE;PLEASE dont bring god to this debate. If he does exist, he doesnt give a flying FUCK about he world

  • @darthlopez thats the truth god really doesn't care about us at all

  • @darthlopez He gives a fuck about YOU.

  • @wqpeb Which is why so many people go through life struggling, in agony, hardship and bullshit. It's all done out of love.

  • @donot0991 your an idiot.

  • @Obsidian182 You're an idiot!

  • so the issue is let people with severe illnesses and quadriplegics in agony all day who take pills all day to quell the pain live or let them die and stop the pain....the only, ONLY reason i can give to say no to assisted suicide is if the person living in pain or agony has a reasonable chance of being cured of their illness and pain, but if there is no chance of such a miracle then the only HUMANE thing to do is stop the suffering. And no government should have the power to make that decision

  • Im proud to be Swiss, as they seem to be the only country who will help you if you are in severe pain and wish to end your life. i used to live 10 minutes away from that clinic

  • @nick21sammy So why do they assist in the deaths of VERY YOUNG people with paralysis? Thats fuckin wrong, plain and simple. 

  • @nick21sammy I was just talking to someone about this-I didn't realize it was legal in Switzerland. That's a good, humane and progressive thing. If someone is terminal and sufferring with NO chance of recovery, just laying there drugged with morphine and is out of it mentally anyway, that is a decent thing to do. I know Gov'ts worry about abuse but it should only be used when it's clear there is no alternative as happens in your country. Maybe the rest of the world will catch on some day.

  • @nick21sammy They could at least put it in a nicer place instead 0of an industrial yard

  • That doctor is seriously retarded. He said the same thing Craig Ewert said in the documentary, but what if Craig was one of those that wasn't going to have a peaceful death because of his condition? I say that if someone chooses to end their life, so be it. Each person is the master of his own destiny, if by chance they choose to end their lives to avoid being in excrutiating pain or slowly becoming a shadow of their former selves, who are we to say no?

  • If you actually watched this documentary and didnt cry (whether inside or on the surface) then your the cold heartless people on here argueing that this should be illegal.

    Thumbs up if you cried watching this

  • this has nothing to do with pets. This man CHOSE to end HIS life in this way instead of suffering. NO ONE forced him to do this, and to die with extreme pain is not dying with dignity. I would do the same thing.

  • all these people who are 'against' it. god help you if you are ever in that situation and you cant get help :(

  • I don't understand the argument against euthanasia. We put our pets down when they're very sick, what about us? Funny how we have rights right up until it really matters. Would you rather die a slow and painful death or a quick and relatively painless death? No brainer to me. Why do those who are against euthanasia want people to suffer til the end?

  • i believe with the baby boomers coming of that certain age, and the economy collapse. The governments will be more tolerant of self-disposal of ones life.

  • i believe passive euthanasia is correct, is some one wants to stop his taking medicines and stop any machines he is using to die a natural death then that is fine.

  • To quote Gordon Brown ".....they have a wider duty to the general Republic..." I would suggest an unconscious awareness of the imminent demise of the British Crown.

  • This is an incredibly powerful documentary and I suggest you seek it out if you haven't seen it.

    It's interesting how, as Americans, we are fed all those lines about 'freedom' and yet we aren't allowed the freedom to decide how we want to expire.

    Maybe your preference is to suffer, and make those around you suffer, and that's fine. But not everyone sees it that way. So the choice is to have a physician assist you in your death or take it in to your own hands. Like many do every day.

  • Lol, funny how it's controversial... How could it be? I mean, even if you don't agree with that there's nothing controversial about a single man choosing this path. This attitude really shows the hypocrisy of some which are against this... talk about free will and helping people out, how does it help anybody to prolong the suffering of a man and that of his family? People who consider this in the first place do so because know they can't live normally again...

  • Indeed, if a person wants to die, by all means let them. Of course I mean those who are terminally ill with no hope what so ever of getting better. If a dog is sick beyond help or just so old that it looses sight hearing or teeth and is just about same as a vegetable of course you'll take it to animal doctor to "put it to sleep". What's so special about humans that we simply HAVE to loose every ounce of dignity to a sickness...

  • I think that people should know about and understand why this person died... I don't think they aired it over here (I didn't see it on any channles like BBC and ITV), but as long as they had the family's permission I'd be OK with it.

  • Shocking, seeing someone die. Dying is as grotesque as child rape and bestiality, after all, do you know anyone who has, so called, 'died'? Us normal white God fearin folk want nothing to do with this terrible evil TV show and God will smite the BBC for its purveying of sin. GOD WANTS US TO SUFFER EXTREME PAIN, NOT KILL OURSELVES.

  • @Pentdad well, according to your bible thumping evolution denying earth is flat ways, if you kill yourself don't you get the ultimate suffering of extreme pain?

  • @DeliciousPoop If the Lord says the Earth is flat then it is flat, who are you to deny our Lord. Amen everyone?

  • @Pentdad

    Oo?

  • @Pentdad i am, whatever is the next level above "Lord".............. i am that

  • @DeliciousPoop you are the alien who brought us life

  • @Pentdad But death is as natural as life. Our bodies gradually wear out... I'd rather be at peace than being trapped within a shell that has lost all of its mobility...

  • @TotodileFan2009 All I know is that I have never known anyone in my life to have so called 'died'. I think its a made up conspiracy against God.

  • @Pentdad I have plenty of philosophical ideas about death, I've always wondered if there was something after... In my previous comment, I was talking about death of the body. I don't mean this in an offensive way, just curiousity, but may I ask how it is a conspiracy against God?

  • @TotodileFan2009 Well didnt Einstein say that travelling back in time is possible? If this is possible, in the far off future a man will go back in time to meet Jesus. Then what? Why not go back to find the missing link (eg was it Gods deft hand to create Adam, alien Man serum injected into Apes, etc). You see with time travel won't we all live forever, for just as space travel becomes cheaper, soon time travel will be affordable to the great unwashed. What do you think?

  • @Pentdad That's quite a deep and complex idea... Only, will we travel forward in time to find eternal life, or will we simply just continuously return to the past? On top of that, are you thinking that when we return back in time that we're restored to as we were at that particular time period..?

  • @TotodileFan2009 Most scientists agree time travel to the past is possible but many say going forward is impossible. But even so, maybe Jesus was a man from the future whose miracles were really just scientific treatments. But then again the future has not happened yet, which means Jesus was Jesus and isnt a man from the future. You see its all so complex.

  • @Pentdad There is also that other thing about time travel like doing something that you think will change the future but in reality it makes the future the way was to begin with....

  • @Pentdad I see what you mean... So, although Jesus himself is a set person in our history, he has yet to be crated, along with the device that sent him back to the past in the first place...

  • i agree with weadone.

    if we can assist our much loved pets to help them end there suffering and pain, then why can we not help people who are also in pain and suffering.

  • i agree with weadone.

    if we can assist our much loved pets to help them end there suffering and pain, then why can we not help people who are also in pain and suffering. 

  • I actually saw this..It was a beautiful presentation...He made sure in his head and heart and soul that he was ready, and once you get yourself straight you should be allowed to do what you will with YOUR life. It was very breathtaking and interesting. I appreciate being able to look at life with a better understanding after seeing someone else point of view. Makes me understand why my grandfather didnt fight the cancer. And if it makes just one person get it, then its was worth making.

  • wow, that man is brave. i can only really speak as a spectator, but if i was in that situation i don't think i would have the guts to commit suicide.

  • DONT LET HIM KILL HIMSELF :) .....WE WILL KILL HIM ,ONLY IF HE HAS OIL ,AND BROWN SKIN I MIGHT ADD :)

  • So its ok to end the life of an animal who can't say no, but not a person who can say yes? nice logic. Twats.

  • @telfertbh ANY animal deserves to live more than any heterosexual - you people kill your kids!!!!

  • Gordon brown always opposed assisted suicide. Was that his personal opinion or that of the constituents e allegedly represented? Truth is he didnt give a fuck about the constituents, much like many of the uk politicians. The uk needs a revolution now.

  • Fuck THE NwO

  • i was randomly watching TV one day and i saw a man in the process of euthanisation and afterwards i was like *woah..i just watched assisted suicide* it was sad

  • @Moismint93

    It was on PBS about 3 months ago here in the US. It was heart wrenching to watch, but it was also difficult to watch him struggle literally for every breath. May God have mercy on his soul.

  • Its a swingers club house.

  • If you don't wish to be put on machines to keep you alive in the event of a catastrophe or sudden eminent fate of death, make sure you have DNR orders in effect for yourself. In fact, it is best to keep a DNR card on you as well because once you are put on a machine, you cannot be taken off until either you don't need it anymore or you die.

  • I agree, these poor ppl have been through sooo much, much more than most of us can imagine and if it comes to a point where a person can't breathe, walk, talk, or do any of the other million things ppl do in their everyday life without having extreme pain, let them go & let them go THEIR way, a dignified way. There r only sooo many pain pills u can shove down someones neck each & everyday & when they do reach that point, they aren't aware of much anyways. God bless'em for doing it THEIR way!

  • 200,000 viewer woo

  • If someone is in constant pain and suffering and can't live without being constantly medicated, or no medications work, why shouldn't they be allowed to end their lives?? If they can communicate, without doubt, that this is what they want, who are we to say no?? Let them pass peacefully, not live in agonizing pain and discomfort.

  • @IGotFree You must be forgetting it's a sin to commit suicide :p

    Thanks to the invisible beardy man in the sky people like this man are told they have to suffer as it's god's will, what a kind compassionate deity...

    I stopped believing fairy tales by the time I was 10, so I find it hard to trust a grown man or woman who believes in any form of religion, it's just pathetic, and to try and make others live by their fairytale rules, that's just sick, MIND YOUR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS

  • @tw34k3d

    It's people like you, who don't believe in God who so get defensive on this subject, and throw a fit. Why are

    you so angry at what others beliefs are? LMAO

  • Oh I thought this was just a video of Gordon Brown's career...

  • I would say that this man should be allowed to kill himself...but...he has kids and a wife!

  • @TheAnarchyfilms I think he has every right to die a dignified death. The man went through enough pain and suffering. I don't think he just did it for himself i think he considered his family having to watch him slowly fade away into a painful death which noone wants to see happen to their parents. I think under special circumstances people have the right too choose to die.

  • @clemarochies

    Agreed.

  • First of all no government should take your rights, tell you what to do or commit a crime against you and get away with it. If you have a desire of any kind as long as it isn't a crime of any kind then you should proceed. Never let any central body control your life. EVER.

  • Just proof that the powers want us to suffer as long as possible in this God forsaken place we call Earth, life, yeah, its hell.

  • Its against the law because they lose another tax payer.

  • @moshen66 Your fucking stupid, he doesnt pay taxes, he uses them idiot.

  • @dem0nthesis lmaooo u owned him. thats what i was just about to say

  • oh shut up and die, drama queen....

    scream if you have to come back....

  • well those are the americans

  • why don't governments allow suicide practices ? because if you're dead , you're not making money for them ...a dead slave ...is a crappy deal

  • PERFECT....Right after an eat a Hamburger Ad....Oh Yummmm!!!!!!

  • We are owned by our governments.

  • Fuck the TV networks. This man has the right to die how he wants to. He's completely correct that the TV stations just want to sensationize it. Let him be.

  • Too bad Wake Forest sucks... Go Noles!

  • we are kinder to our sick pets than our elderly sick .

    let them leave with dignity.

  • This is such a retarded issue. If someone wants to die, and has a good reason for it, LET THEM!!!

  • @warsilver99 THANK YOU. People did NOT ask to be born in the first place, so if they want to die peacefully, they should be allowed to. It is CRUEL to force someone to continue to exist when they don't want to.

  • @warsilver99 You know how dumb that sounds?

  • @warsilver99 agree. i'm about to do the same thing

  • @warsilver99 euthanasia? A retarded issue? Hope you commit suicide twat.

  • @wadapakdawat0414

    Read some before you speak asshole

  • @caddop22 Read? Seriously? You're a dumb ass you know that? Ignorant cunt. Do you even know what euthanasia is? And before you open your dictionary for idiots why would you let a man die ON CAMERA? Isn't that offensive to people who fight cancer or any illness in the hospital bed? Don't pretend to be smart and start contradicting other people's beliefs just because you're one ignorant, idiotic, merciless punk-ass son of a bitch.

  • @wadapakdawat0414

    Why don't get of off your high horse and shut the fuck up!! Just because everyone does not agree with your fucking opinion dickhead. People are entitled to their opinion, if you don't like keep your big fucking mouth shut. Go euthanize your self ass hole.....

  • @wadapakdawat0414 i since a tinge of hypicriticalness here, you say " why would you let a man die ON CAMERA?" but tell somebody else to kill themselves, so your saying that if he didnt commit suicide ON CAMERA then its ok? would you force somebody to live fully knowing that they are in a lot of pain, even if the person doesnt want to go on living and the family is ready to let that person move on? that sounds pretty selfish to me

  • @iornslug1 ROFLMAO! XD What the hell are you talking about? I'm not forcing anyone to do anything. Those are just meaningless words. If i typed here that you should jump off a building. Would you do it? Obviously not. Your comment absolutely made no sense. So fuck off. And i mean that literally asshole.

  • @wadapakdawat0414 umm acually it makes perfect sense your just to stupid to understand. im not saying your forcing someone to commit suicide, im saying that you would force someone to live even if they are in pain and dont want to live anymore. if you told someone to kill themselves, chances are they wouldnt do it but its the idea of you telling someone to commit suicide well saying that its an injustice to "people who fight cancer or any illness in the hospital bed" is just hypocriticalness

  • @warsilver99 The issue is all about money. People will make money trying to enforce some shit or something people are fucked as a race lol

  • @warsilver99 even if its aiganst the law, i think everybody should have the free decision about their live and if they dont want to live they dont want to live

  • This is a great documentary, and pretty sad.

  • The minute tv channels are prohibited from airing such material we should all throw our tv's out the window! No channel should be censured for having the courage to debate such subjects,& this programme was in no way a 'ratings grabber' nor was it 'sensationalist'.Our government has already 'nannied' us into quiet sumbission in many areas.Being able to choose what we view is one of the few areas where government really ought to butt out.We have the on/off switch on our tv,that's all we need!

  • I think Dr. Kavorkian imo helps people who need it... He kills people who want to die I think that if you want to die and have a vailid reasion such as a painful terminal illness you should be able to have yourself killed in a humain way...

    Its more cruel to keep a burn victom who will ultimatly die in the burn center alive for 8 months to suffer... Or a person suffering with cancer etc etc... Or how about people paralized waist down... Its evil to let them live.

  • You joke about "dying" while doing menial tasks, sports, and even just because it's hot. He is dying. He's in immense pain almost all the time. You don't deserve to debate about his choice to live or die. Go get a terminal illness, then you can decide.

  • If he knew how famous he was going to get mabey he would have just pretended.

  • that guy should not die we culd of sent brown there to make sure it works

  • Euthanasia is a right that I think every person should have, if they become critically ill and are no good to themselves and are only becoming worse, then it is their right to wish to die. Denying them that is cruelty of the highest order, how dare anyone tell these people who are in so much physical and emotion pain that they aren't allowed to die.

  • Can't remember who said it, but nothing truer has been said. Gordon Brown looks like a scrotum with a sad face drawn on it.

  • @murf69 That would be the work of Frankie Boyle lol.

  • How very very brave he was.

    What's selfish in all of this, is someone telling someone else they have no right to be in control of their own life.

    I can't tell you to kill yourself, so what gives you the right to tell me I can't? I'm just sayin'.

  • I watched this, it was sad. But amazing.

  • R.I.P

  • I never understood the argument about how suicide is selfish, you have no idea what any person is going through when they think of such a thing, they are already in another state of existance for that thought to even occur. are they selfish, or are you because you would rather them suffer (mentally or physically) so that you will not miss them? Hell is probably not real, but pain certainly is.

  • @LostProphet03 exactly, people who have decided to end their own lives because of mental/physical pain and the complete absence of hope are expected to suffer so that friends and relatives can have peace of mind...

    suicide is seen as a sign of weakness, and a "permanent solution to a temporary problem" by people who like to make generalisations so that they can feel safe...

    they fail to see that the world is a complicated unpleasant place, where pain comes in all shapes and sizes...
