Mary Kills People & Eyewitness

Double Feature! Mary Kills People is a serious and highly rated TV program about two doctors who, in their extra time, help suffering people who plead for it, to end their lives. This does not romanticize or minimize the dangers and risks of doing this.

Eyewitness, by Dutch psychiatrist Boudewijn Chabot. This film has five speakers, discussing various methods of self-deliverance. Three of the speakers are loved ones of people who used the method. One is a doctor who helped someone die – under the Dutch law. The fifth is an 80 year old woman describing her analysis of the three methods with pros and cons. It is an excellent, rational discussion of planning for the end of life.
