      It is a great film, why is it banned?
      This film has great actors and an impressive storyline. The topic of euthanasia on demand is not popular, but it is absolutely wrong to prohibit it.

      It is the same like abortions. It is not good to mention on cocktail parties, but every day there are people who need it and imho this are very important rights for our entire society.

      If someone has at least one very good reason to end his/her life, it should be possible to end the suffering. It is legal in several countries. In the Netherlands for example you have to visit two different psychiatrists and when both of them agrre with you, then you can die in peace and dignity.

      In every old peoples home in the so called civilized world are a lot of human beings who beg for being killed. They are alone, sick, helpless and doomed to existence.

      This film should be shown in every classroom, not only in cinemas. Discuss it and.give our humans the honor to decide themselves. To force people to stay alive is torture, give them the right to decide isn't.
