Assisted Suicide, Coping With Loss
Losing a loved one inevitably brings pain. Even more so when the countdown is related to assisted suicide. In Switzerland, assisted dying has more than tripled in ten years. Chantal chose it almost as a thumbing of the nose at death. For Dominique and Vincenzo, the pain of their illness had become unbearable. For Francis and Carmen, it came as the ultimate proof of a lifelong love. Who helped them end their lives? How do their loved ones cope? Why can't patients with dementia or Alzheimer's be eligible to assisted suicide? Can those who wish to die really be prevented from ending their lives as they wish? An investigation at one of today's most controversial ethical questions.
