Euthanasia

"Advances in modern technology have made it possible to postpone and control death and to sustain life almost indefintely. This has raised a host of ethical questions that society must address. When does it become morally legitimate to pull the plug? Should a patient be guided to an easy death? What are the legal, moral and ethical implications of euthanasia? This film examines these critical issues."

  • "The boundary between life and death is no longer clear. Modern technology has made it possible to postpone, control or induce death. But when does it become morally legitimate to pull the plug, or guide the patient into an "easy death"? In Holland, doctors perform euthenasia upon patient request, but euthenasia is strongly opposed by most doctors in North America, where every year 30,000 people spend their final days on life-support systems. EUTHENASIA examines both sides of the debates."
