Document Summary
The lm, how to die in switzerland, outlines the story of dr. anne turner as she seeks assisted suicide in switzerland as relief from her progressive neurological disorder, progressive supra supranuclear palsy. Her husband had experienced a similar condition, where at the end he was completely unable to care from himself, he was drooling, and in a wheelchair. When dr. turner receives her diagnosis she automatically wants to end her life but is convinced not to by her children and close friends. However, towards the end her children see how much she is su ering and agree with her decision. Her son makes reference to a good death which is de ned in the textbook as a timely, pain- free death with expectation and surrounded by family. A bad death is essentially the opposite, where there is su ering, the death is from unnatural causes, etc.
