Fade to Black (2017)
Thank you for caring
What a great documentary. It was great to see so many people interested in this topic and to see a few younger people there as well. When I first looked around I thought I was out numbered as I am only 48 years of age, but when I looked around there were more like me, which was pleasing to see. Many people ask me "why do you care? You are so young, you still have a long way ahead of you"! Yes I am young and hope to last for a very long time but I have parents who are suffering and I wish for their pain to stop. My dad DOES NOT have a terminal disease, and therefore there is no choice for him, but to lay in bed and wait in pain. He was in favor of euthanasia before he even got sick, and he helped to understand it and be opened minded about it. Unfortunately it will never come in time for him, but I hope it will come in time for me... I would so much rather remember a dad, who was a fun and loving parent than a frail man, who doesn't even recognise me anymore. I am 100% sure that if he had the choice, he would also have chosen to go earlier and stop, his suffering as well as ours as we are limited and unable to help him any more. I want to thank Peter and his family for sharing their story and for allowing us into his life/death as it has certainly made me stronger to continue fighting so that these laws can be changed. I WANT TO HAVE A CHOICE, whether I am terminally ill or not. It's my Life!
