A decision to screen the final moments of a terminally-ill British man who chose to commit suicide has been widely criticised.
Britain’s Sky Television agreed to show a film of 59-year-old Craig Ewert’s death in 2006 in a clinic in Switzerland. It’s part of a Right to Die documentary made by Canadian filmmaker John Zaritsky.
It’s the first time British television has shown someone committing assisted suicide. Anti-euthanasia campaigners said the broadcast was irresponsible “euthanasia voyeurism” which would create a false impression of a growing demand for assisted suicide in Britain.
