How to Die In Oregon-Amazing HBO Documentary

How to Die In Oregon is a 2011 HBO Documentary by Peter D. Richardson about dying with dignity.  Shane and I watched it today and we thought it was amazing and very moving.  I wish there was a way to require everyone to sit and watch it.  I believe if that happened, many more people would understand the option that physician-assisted suicide provides.  Perhaps then it would become legal throughout the country, and not just in the states of Oregon and Washington.

The documentary shows the story of several brave individuals with terminal illnesses that choose to end their lives with dignity.  If you do watch this movie and aren't moved, you may not be right in the head.  Shane and I were all but sobbing.

Though it is not a happy subject, this is a fascinating film and I highly recommend it.  You might want to have a box of tissues handy.  It is available On Demand from HBO through June 19.
