euthanasia

Pedro Almodóvar explores one friend helping another with a euthanasia decision in “The Room Next Door,” while writer-director Adam Elliot returns to the intergenerational friendship dynamic of his 2009 stop-motion film “Mary and Max” with “Snail.”

The jury supported both physician-assisted suicide, where the health professional prescribes lethal drugs for eligible patients to take themselves, and voluntary euthanasia, where a health professional administers the drugs to the patient.

The Netherlands, for example, has legalised assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Voluntary euthanasia is where a health professional administers the drugs to the patient.

Euthanasia is illegal under English law and is considered manslaughter or murder.
