Citazioni
[Anne is discussing her planned suicide with the doctor from Dignitas]
Swiss Doctor: The procedure will take place in our organisation's apartment. A trained volunteer will assist you. He will have to video you taking the medicine which I will prescribe.
Dr. Anne Turner: [in a weak voice] Yes, I understand.
Swiss Doctor: And your children will be with you.
Dr. Anne Turner: To the end, yes. It's what they want.
Swiss Doctor: Is it what *you* want, Dr Turner?
[Anne pauses for a long time]
Dr. Anne Turner: I thought it was. Thought I knew for sure. But now I know something I didn't before coming here.
Swiss Doctor: What is that?
Dr. Anne Turner: I've broken their hearts.
Swiss Doctor: By dying?
Dr. Anne Turner: By dying.
Swiss Doctor: You are honest. And your children, they are honest too?
Dr. Anne Turner: They are, yes.
Swiss Doctor: Then they are where they want to be - with you.
Dr. Anne Turner: [in a strong voice] Practical matters. Is the taste horribly bitter?
Swiss Doctor: It will be, yes.
Dr. Anne Turner: Does it ever fail?
Swiss Doctor: No, it never fails.
[the doctor signs a prescription for the barbiturate]
Swiss Doctor: It is a strange thing you do today. It does require courage. You have it.

An excellent film

Knowing that this film is based on a true story, makes this film even more poignant than simply a made up story. Excellent acting & story telling of the difficult & challenging situation for an individual & her family, in the decision to have the right to die. A film that will move you & hopefully show people why it is so important to give people the right to end their life rather than long drawn out suffering , pain & diminished existence. A very touching & inclusive story. A must watch!
