Fatal Flaws: The Assisted Death Debate (Euthanasia documentary) | Real Stories

Video Description

Should we be giving doctors the right to end the lives of others by euthanasia or assisted suicide? Fatal Flaws: Legalizing Assisted Death is a thought-provoking journey through Europe and North America to find answers to this question. Some 20 years after these laws were introduced, evensome of the most loyal supporters of assisted dyingare questioning where these laws are taking us. The grandfather of euthanasia in the Netherlands, Dr. Boudewijn Chabot speaks of a ‘worrisome culture shift’ and that euthanasia is ‘getting out of hand’ – especially as it relates to patients with psychiatric issues. The cost of ongoing treatment is putting pressure on an already fraught decision making process, and the many are questioning the motives of those tasked with making the decisions. Meanwhile, the suicidal can simply ‘shop around’ until they find the decision they are looking for, or more worryingly – others can do the same for those they are tasked with caring for. With powerful testimonies and expert opinion from both sides of the issue, Fatal Flaws: Legalizing Assisted Death uncovers how these highly disputed laws affect society over time.
