Yesterday I watched "Right to Die" on Sky. Last night I read this article on the BBC website:

Should a suicide be shown on television?
The wife of a motor neurone disease sufferer has defended the decision to have his death by assisted suicide shown on television. Should a suicide be shown on television?

Motor neurone disease sufferer Craig Ewert died in 2006 at the Dignitas clinic in Switzerland.

His wife, Mary Ewert, told the Independent newspaper the documentary was not a film about him personally. She said: "He was keen to have it shown because when death is hidden and private, people don't face their fears about it."

Dr Saunders from campaign group Care Not Killing said: "It's a slippery slope. The danger is that we start to believe in a story that there is such a thing as a life not worth living."

Should an assisted suicide be shown on television? Should these issues be discussed more openly? Are you worried that a documentary of this nature could promote suicide? Should Craig Ewert's final moments be kept private?

YES! I have watched this already on Sky Anytime and have to say it as an interesting and moving programme.
Having lost both my parents this year, my father to cancer and 5 weeks later my mother, of a broken heart, I was interested to see the children of the Craig Ewert's feelings on their fathers decision. They were and remain very proud of his strength of nature and being true to himself to the end.
This is a subject requiring debate, if this encourages it then Well Done.

I had a call today from BBC World Service to discuss the show, they're calling me back at 6pm to go live on air.
