Review of How to Die in Oregon (2011) by Colleen P — 09 Nov 2014

I had this in my queue, avoided it forever, and then sat down for a doc on a Sunday afternoon and thought... maybe it's just about the politics, I'll give it a shot. Nope. There was a very nice lady.

She had a very bad cancer. Ended up spending a good chunk of the afternoon in tears. (There are politics in there too.) Totally worth it though. It was an abstract idea; it just seems obvious that people should be able to choose for themselves.

This doc makes the idea kind of visceral. How this isn't legal everywhere is beyond me.
