Documentary on the illness ALS with English subtitles

This moving documentary by Aristos Bouïus shows the last days of three people with A.L.S. (ALS Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). Their respective partners tell also about the difficulties they encounter with a partner whom for sure will die shortly. In this excerpt only one of the patients is figured. Subjects like home care, euthanasia, dying out of free will to diminish the suffering, as well as the joy people still can have in their last days, are prominently present in this documentary for example during their holiday stay at Les Gaillards in France, where people in the last phase of their life are welcomed in the chambres dhôtes.
A doctor explains the precise nature of this illness amongst that: the difference between ALS en Multiple Sclerosis.
What you see is only an excerpt of 6 minutes from the documentary which is 55 minutes. The spoken language is Dutch with English subtitles (and French and Russian for that matter). If you want to buy the DVD with the complete documentary, please write to ab@aristosbv.com.

If you tell the truth, just spank your little brother and tell him to behave. Otherwise no hard feelings. I'm almost used to stupid remarks.

DONT PUT A PARILZED GUY IN A POOL

@Metaknight4569 Never read such a completely stupid remark in my life. While giving someone paralized the time of his life (or what rested of that) whilst SUPPORTING HIM IN THE WATER, you have the courage of judging this? Probably you walk like a hare and never experienced the dullness, the pain, etc. of being paralized. I wish you an easy life.
