A Short Stay in Switzerland PT 5

we watched this in R.E

[XIHeartMerylStreepX]

when that girl said "there are people who can help" I found myself furiously yelling at the screen "SHE DOESENT WANT HELP! SHE WANTS TO DIE!" let her die in peace. It's not what you want, it's what the person suffering wants. respect that. Everyone

im now shaking after watching her try to commit suicide with that plastic bag! i missed that part in school! no wonder everyone was crying so much!!! in tears now

I really hope euthanasia becomes legal in the UK, if I ever end up like that then I'd want to end my life before it got really bad! I find it disgusting that it's illegal here, I mean, would you rather see a loved one die quickly and relatively painlessly or watch them slowly die in suffering? No brainer to me.

I watched this once at school during a Religious Studies lesson on euthenasia. Tears were pouring down my cheeks for an hour after watching this, but most of my class were laughing themselves silly.

It never fails to amaze me that some people take their own lives for granted...

I know what it is like to live with a degenerative condition - Julie Walters must have done some serious research for this role - it is nothing short of brilliant - thanks for posting this

@hinkyponky I'm glad you enjoyed it !

[longmelford]

I`m not talking about the morality or otherwise of assisted suicide but in this case, as a registered MD, why didn`t Doctor Turner commit suicide here in the UK where she could easily have obtained the Barbituate required without risking the possible prosecution of her children. Was this more a political and high profile statement against the law as it presently stands in the UK ?

I find this move scary.. i think about dying myself and it scares me :( poor her...

[joshwood47]

Has anyone else here read some of the articles on Dr Turner that are on the web?

I think it's interesting how it's this point the children site as being when they knew she was serious about dying, if not completely unsurprising.

her performance is so good that my eyes are totally glued to the screen, but at the same time, i feel sick to my stomach...

[shushu825]

this film is revoltingly moving...an extraordinarily brilliant performance.

I totally agree with you its not always easy to watch!
