Review of How to Die in Oregon (2011) by Maria D — 13 Jun 2014

This documentary is the saddest, most important thing I've ever watched. Aside from all the controversy around this subject, the only word to describe being able to decide for yourself how you wish to leave this world is respect - respect for who you are, respect and acknowledgement for all you gave to this world - by giving to you, what you feel is true.

It seems wrong that those who live choose by force to determine someone else's journey through death unless that's how it unfolds by circumstance. I would also suspect that only those close to death can feel God and what God wants much more profoundly than those living well and far from death's call.
