Terminally ill Janette wants to die with dignity, but it’s not possible in the UK, where she lives. She therefore decides for assisted suicide. She must plan her journey to Switzerland before her rapidly advancing disease makes it impossible. The question of whether we own our own lives or whether they own us is the primary impetus behind this documentary portrait, which shows that death can be good despite the sadness that always accompanies it. The film, with dramatically suggestive camera work, uses feature film techniques, and engaging characters and stories of their loved ones are interwoven with Janette’s story. "Let's talk about death because we will all die someday. The question is: can we choose when and how? I think we should." T. Krupa

#臺灣公視主題之夜20230428 「美好的死亡」安樂死,一個充滿爭議的社會性議題,面對死亡權利是否應該歸屬于每個個體;當一個社會還沒有成熟發(fā)達到具備安樂死的客觀條件時,是否會造成很多障礙患者“被死亡”;死亡是一個過程,不丑化死亡的同時是否也意味著我們要美化死亡;在一個人口逐漸老齡化的當下,面對平和死亡的誘惑力必然越來越大,擁有死亡的選擇權與如何可以活得更好的權利,哪個更重要也許對于中國當下社會更值得探討??傊?,作為一個爭議公共議題看到臺灣可以在電視臺公開播放這樣的紀錄片,進行公開的討論,真心值得羨慕。
