BBC to air ‘deeply disturbing’ assisted suicide documentary
From The Christian Institute:
The BBC has come under fire over a documentary showing an assisted suicide taking place at a facility in Switzerland.
The 90-minute programme, due to be aired on 10 February, follows the story of businessman Simon Binner, who travelled to the facility having been diagnosed with motor neurone disease in January 2015.
The documentary, called “How to Die: Simon’s Choice”, shows Binner lying on a bed before opening a valve that allows a lethal drug to enter his body.
Cheerleaders
The BBC insists that the moment of him actually dying is not shown, but The Daily Telegraph has reported that there is a fleeting shot of his corpse.
It will be the first time footage from inside Switzerland’s second largest assisted suicide clinic will be shown on British television.
Pro-life campaigners have criticised the BBC for being a “cheerleader for suicide”.
