Excellent documentary!!! As a Canadian physician watching Liz elegantly travel my hometown streets, I feel compelled to say how ashamed I am of our failing system and how dearly I hope that a similar outcome can be avoided in the UK and elsewhere.

I am shocked to see this and hear how people are suggesting that other people would be better off dead and wouldn’t save them if they were committing suicide. This is incredibly sad to me but also makes me feel angry. Having heard about this bill I was hearing terminally ill. It’s disturbing to hear that the criteria widens once the law comes in. This is a very a difficult area for ethical doctors surely. I would think some will leave their profession. Having read You before Me years ago I was very sad indeed at the ending, I wonder how many people were and if the film was different. As the women in this documentary show, there is a purpose for you.

As a Canadian, our MAID program ( assisted suicide) has not killed those who want to die but also those who are financially ruined by a corrupt government. Military people hurt in the line of serving our country are not given financial support, they are offered Maid. It sickens me to see where our society is heading! Thank you for this very informative documentary❤

I hadn't seen this before, not having a tv, but I'm very glad I have seen it now, and really glad that Liz Carr has managed to raise so many important aspects of what many think is a for/against issue. The weird thing is that when I was uber healthy, fit, young, and beautiful I often had suicidal ideation and depression. Now I'm approaching my seventh decade, have an array of disabilities, and have lost several friends to unassisted suicide. I have long forseen the time when society will pressurise "non productive" people to off burden themselves. The very fact that there's always trillions of funds for war (ie legally killing a bunch of othered human beings) yet precious little given to preserving a liveable planet for ANY of its inhabitants, shows how unevolved, un empathetic and amoral humanity still is.

Hi Liz, I just read a report in the Daily Mail and I recognized you before they said who you were. Keep fighting for this, it is important. Keep in mind that the people who carried out the Holocaust, started with killing the mentally ill, infirm and ill. This "assisted suicide" is EVIL to the core. The people who promote it are EVIL. All one has to do is look at what has gone on in the Netherlands or Canada. The eugenics crowd from the last century, are back. Everything goes around, and EVIL never sleeps. Love you Liz, Michael

Do you think thzat doctor realises who bruesome she actually come across as?

Jesus Christ saved my life and made me new. I survived many suicidal attempts, was hospitalized and on life support. For over 20 years I battled with depression, anxiety, insomnia, low self esteem until Jesus delivered me of all of the demons that were trying to steal, kill, and destroy my life. If you are struggling with mental illness, call onto Jesus! HE HEALS! He completely healed me and made me new. Repent of your sins and ask for forgiveness. He will give it to you. God loves us so much. He doesn’t wish to see any of us perish. Time is running out! Please call on Him, ask to be born again, in Jesus name. He will come soon, and every knee will bow to our almighty King! He who died on the cross for our sins and was then resurrected. Jesus Christ is King!

Holy crap that doctor death lady is scary AF.

ah, brill, this documentary has been summarised by Matt Walsh, a chap with millions of subscribers so I hope it gets the attention it deserves. It;s called "WATCH This Doctor Laugh About Human Suffering. It's Terrifying".. but I wanted to find the original. Thanks for the upload.

It's crazy that laws that were written to prevent people from committing suicide co-exist with laws that allow assisted suicide. A person who says "I'm going to jump off of a high bridge to kill myself" is evaluated or committed, but a person who says "I'm going to Dr Wiebe's office so she can help me kill myself" is not? Donna, highlighted in the middle of the video, was in this situation and somehow she was allowed to go through assisted suicide. It's mind-boggling. I see brainwashing kids into accepting assisted suicide as normal and desirable is also part of the industry. Jesus.

I love when I have an opinion about an issue and then something causes me to change my mind. I am now against legalizing assisted suicide. There is too much danger in it. When you think about it, there are myriad ways of committing suicide anyway. But we should be discouraging suicide, not encouraging it.

This woman (the Canadian doctor) does not deserve to be called a "serial killer"... most real serial killers at least have some "charm", some personality, they will kill you in a dark basement with knifes, needles, or any other very painful and slow method... and then will dismember you and carefully hide your pieces, or, even better, they will eat your own flesh... this woman is pathetic... ok, 400 + deaths is impressive, but... by administering drugs to ill people seated in that fake sofa? No, I refuse to call her a "serial killer"!

Assisted suicide has contempt for humanity at its heart.

"what might be an individual's right is not the same as what would be safe for society" the doctor put it exactly right. allowing "medically assisted suicide" would cause much more harm to society than it would benefit . Not only does it carry an extremely large risk of being expanded to broader and broader categories of people who aren;t suffering from unbearable suffering but merely temporary, solvable mental health and economic problems like the canadian law expanding the MAID to people with mental health disorders and teenagers and people going through economic hardship, it would also inevitably lead to vulnerable people being coerced into asking for help to commit suicide and not only that , normalising suicide will harm society more generally by telling people that killing yourself is an acceptable answer to feelings of hopelessness. We know from the netflix series "13 reasons why" that after the show aired, suicide attempts shot up immediately afterwards, so suicide is heavily influenced by cultural portrayals and messaging and glamourisation. Canada is already advertising medically assistance in dying publicly so many many people whjo would not have otherwise attempted suicide have now killed themselves because of this promotion. Furthermore, even for people who don't kill themselves, living in a society that tells peoople that killing yourself is a perfectly fine response to feelings of suffering will drain the vitatlity out of that society. There's a reason why attempts to kill yourself are so much higher among atheists than among religious people who have hope in the afterlife. all these harms to society are not worth legalising medical systems helping people to commit suicide , especially when those few people who are in permanent unbearable suffering and cannot be helped by palliative care are usually in a position where they can commit suicide themselves or with the help of a family member and when they are that sick it is easy to make it look natural so there is little risk to the family member.

These people should be prosecuted for encouraging suicide the same way that a someone who tried to convince someone else to commit suicide should be held accountable.

Liz carr is attacking this law on the grounds that it is unfair to treat disabled people differently by allowing them to do assisted suicide when you would discourage able-bodied people. But this argument is not good enough because many of these anti-natalists supporting would happily allow and even encourage everyone to commit suicide. Liz needs to go further and argue that normalising suicide is evil even when everyone is allowed to do it.

As a Canadian I am very happy that we are able to access MAiD. It is about respecting autonomy,

27:06 This reaction turned my stomach.... #OhCanada

Sobering to think we are on the verge of making this mistake in the UK. I don't know how people can look at MAiD in Canada and think that it is a system we would want to emulate.

Eugenics Same as Abortion Evil

Great documentary! If we keep giving them another step ...it will eventually lead to "Death panels" which IS their main goal. They are Eugenicist!

The question is not "safeguards", the question is not "how safe?" The question is; "on what basis do we have a right to do this?" I can see none. most sincerely, (former care assistant) Karen

Everyone will die - we are all terminal!

God bless you Liz for this very thought provoking documentary. All life should be seen as sacred from birth to natural death. We did not choose this life... it was given to us as a gift. As a society we seem to have lost our respect for life and think we are not worthy in our suffering and worst of times. Whether a person has faith or not we need to consider the consequences of our actions. Autonomous decisions can have severe impacts on our family and friends. As a Canadian I am saddened and embarrassed our beautiful country has come to our laws in this regard.

Liz Carr you are my hero. I am not sick or disabled but a woman of faith and I believe that God should pick our time and not man. Thankyou for sharing your story and insight to your beautiful life.

We are all created God and man does not have the right to end the life of anyone only God has that right. Thank you Liz for your documentary which I feel that many people will feel they may next on the `surplus to requirements `mentality

I was interested to hear this point of view and some very legitimate concerns were raised. But I would also like to see a documentary about people who, denied the possibility of being able to apply for a controlled death, try alternatives such as stepping in front of trains, off tall buildings, and other things that are not only traumatic for the people who have to deal with the consequences but are also generally done without much if any warning being given to persons who might help them to see that their life is perhaps still worth living... and that's to say nothing of the people who end up in an even worse predicament when their attempted suicide fails. Chances are that everyone who reads this will, at some time in their life, have felt that they'd be better off dead. But as they are still here to read this, they somehow moved past it. However, there are other people who can't read this because they reached a point where they were so desperate that they attempted suicide, and succeeded. Why didn't they "get help"? Perhaps because they knew that nobody to whom they could go would ever say "Okay, if you're really, really sure that's what you want..." Trust me on this: if you've lost all hope the last thing you want is some do-gooder trying to persuade you that everything will be okay. The way I see it making "assisted dying" an option would mean far fewer bungled suicide attempts, traumatised train drivers, shocked relatives, and would probably even save a few people who would, in the process of applying, find a reason to live. I'd also like to see the rise in assisted deaths in Canada plotted on a graph along with graph lines to show, suicides, long drawn-out deaths from cancer, etc. Unless the population of Canada is in decline it stands to reason that the people dying an assisted death are thereby not dying from something. What's the something else?

Superb documentary. I am in the US. I have watched Canada's assisted suicide laws multiplying rapidly over the years. I fear it will become a blanket law in the US as well as the UK and so many other countries. We are better than this. We have scientists and medical staff across the country as well as people who can assist others to live, find cures for certain diseases, etc.... Life is worth living. And yes, I have an autoimmune disease, and I do have some rough days. But, I have lived another day until it's time for God to say when my life will end. Thank you for this.

Thanks for posting this documentary and for the subtitles. Can I ask you if you had copyright issues? Usually the BBC is very intransigent about it. I'd like to do it with Italian subtitles.

This is so necessary, and so well done. Thank you so much for giving clear voice to the issues, and for creating this resource to share with people.

The problem isn't the slippery slope; it's the double standard. Assisted suicide should be either illegal for everyone or legal for all competent adults. This is the THIRD time I've posted this comment. Why does it keep disappearing?

Criticizing the double standard about suicide in able-bodied people and disabled people is fine, but it is equally important to criticize the double standard about suicide in terminally ill people and others. Just as it is discriminatory to give disabled people less protection than others against their own suicidal desires, it is discriminatory to give terminally ill people less protection.

When Hitler came to power, the medical system was immediately "all in" to participate in the killing. I dont trust doctors completely.

27:00 - The doctor's comments and laughter are especially unnerving at this point. One would think that a physician who's ended the lives of 400 adults would view human euthanasia as a tragic last resort to be discussed and/or implemented with a somber sense of duty as opposed to a devil-may-care attitude and incessant laughter.

Dr.Death here seems to thrive on the notion of the 'control' she weilds in assisting people to die...working as she does with abortions on the side.Shes mentioned the word 'control' How many times?! It would be ironic if she herself died suddenly naturally wouldnt it, proving to all and sundry she actually had No 'control'. So much arrogance here packaged prettily and tied with a bow.

I think this is "AL generated', so I don't even wish to watch it.

This is exactly how the holocaust in Nazi Germany started.......the legalized murder of the physically or mentally disabled started by the concept of there being such a thing as "lives not worthy of life." And it did not stop there. As those of us who don't deny the holocaust well know.

I'm French and your documentary is particularly relevant because in our country, at this very moment, a bill on aid in dying is being debated in the National Assembly. The voices of those affected are once again being stifled, and the few media outlets that agree to give us an audience are discrediting what we have to say. I find the situation frightening. We need to get organised despite the lack of physical and digital accessibility in this country, which couldn't care less about its disabled citizens.

This Canadian woman who considers herself a doctor is shameful and disturbed. She is all about 'death' - 'loves her job' but considers putting desperate people down like a dog is the best job. How disgusting!!!

She's a remarkable women. She does more than us who are able...

Wonderful to see it finally coming to light Liz, spectacular job.

God DAMN this is timely and necessary-thanks for this. I am so scared of what Canada is doing right now I think about this constantly. Coincidentally I would really love to hear more in our movement speaking up for how flawed the choice to ask this of our physicians is in the 1st place 🖤

Love this documentary. I wish here in France there were audible disabled voices too, to oppose the existing and prospective"end-of-life" law.

A really interesting take on the topic of assisted dying/suicide that I hadn’t considered. Particularly poignant was the point made about how we look at an able person wanting to commit suicide and how we look at a disabled person in the same boat - how we have already written this narrative of disabled meaning suffering and hopelessness, when in reality that is a really pitiful way for society to think about anyone. It’s definitely given me food for thought, being pro-assisted dying prior to watching this. I do feel like it has its place in terminal illness and old age, but you’ve opened my eyes to the fragility of the legislation surrounding it, and the whether the control really rests with the individual or with the government from that perspective.

Excellent documentary Liz. Wonderful job of presenting the other view. This should give everyone cause to pause and think about the implications and perhaps change their minds.

Brilliant. Well done Liz.

This is a terrible documentary. I’m severely disabled and have lived through the process of allowing euthanasia in the Netherlands. So I have experienced living in both situations. I feel so much better now that euthanasia allowed. There is no pressure or lack of care. There is more choice en much less of a sense of imprisonment. Yes, criteria for allowing euthanasia do change but only because sick people campaign very hard for that to happen. Not because society thinks disabled people are worthless.

I am so very proud of you Liz. I'm not surprised they played Esther Rantzen, after you specifically requested that they do NOT do so. It lays bare the bias right here, right now!

Was not the most telling point the way, despite being ask not to, the BBC put up the clip of Esther Rantzen?

Amazing! Liz explains it so well; it's so powerful.
