the suicide plan - hidden world of assited suicide
sociopolitical documentary hosted by will lyman, published by pbs broadcasted
as part of pbs frontline series in 2012 - english narration
you have an incurable illness, you want to die, and you want help dying - what can you do? people who
are terminally ill and live in oregon or washington can openly ask a doctor for help, but in the rest of
country, where physician-assisted suicide is illegal, people who are suffering turn in secret to friends,
family members, and even activist organizations. in this groundbreaking 90-minute film, frontline
explores the shadow world of assisted suicide, where the lines between legality and criminality are
blurred as never before. with intimate access to decisions near the end of life, frontline takes
viewers inside one of the most polarizing social issues of our time - told not only by the people choosing
to die, but also by their "assisters," individuals and right-to-die organizations at risk of prosecution for
their actions to hasten death.
