I recalled this film,as I've heard recent news of J.Kevorkian (so-called "Dr. Death") being released from Prison.This controversial topic has certainly been around, more recently the "Terri Schiavo" case few years ago;

My Heart is iffy,because on one side of line we find Humanity, trying to save and help a person any way possible; There is the flip side, that if a patient seems well beyond Hope and recovery,would someone just "end it all", by turning life support off? It may be a hard thing to fathom, but it definitely is a matter for the Soul & Conscience.

I understand and fully support anyone not wanting extraordinary measures to preserve their life(ventilator, feeding tube and such) or choosing to not take a treatment for an illness because of side effects or to simply prolong life that would be in sickness, but I do not support anyone who chooses to kill themselves because they have an illness. Unlike animals, we have the ability to stand very difficult circumstances and with modern technology no one needs to fear being in terrible pain because there are pain relieving drugs available. Our dealing with sickness gives us strength and courage and gives that to those around us.
