In the trailer for this short film, the entry for which was written and researched by @JoeCSMH, three adult siblings debate whether you can “commit euthanasia” and ask their mother why she’s decided she wants to live. youtube.com/watch?v=I0pWQTA4…
In the short satirical film ‘The Mother Situation,’ three adult siblings gather for their mother’s planned #assisteddeath only to discover she has changed her mind, and that they will consequently not be receiving their inheritance as promptly as expected. assistedlab.ch/visual/the-mo…

@NikkiGemmell's memoir ‘After,’ recounts her complicated relationship with her mother who took her own life due to chronic pain. This high-profile story featured prominently in Australian conversations about legalization in 2017. assistedlab.ch/textual/after…
"If this were just a book about the treacherous and tender currents that run between mothers and daughters, it would be enough. Instead, After also explores euthanasia [...] and the increasing problem of elder opioid abuse." theguardian.com/books/2017/a…

In advocating for her Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, British MP Kim Leadbeater emphasized how the deaths of terminally ill loved ones can affect families. Similar arguments, however, have been made on the other side of the assisted dying debate. bbc.com/news/articles/cwyx43…
The decision, or wish, for an assisted death is a deeply personal one, as likely to evoke support as grief from one's family members. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be featuring archive entries which explore a wide range family members’ responses to #assisteddeath.
See ⬇️ for a classic example of how cultural productions are used in assisted dying law making processes.

@AnnieBrooker_’s mother decided to end her life by Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking, a legal approximation of #assisteddying in the UK. Brooker's book 'Intervals' insists that UK debates about #assisteddying must consider broader social issues. assistedlab.ch/textual/inter…

“One worry I have is that Simon has a tendency for the big gesture. This may be the big gesture to end them all … I worry that he will feel locked into it even if he has second thoughts later.” theguardian.com/tv-and-radio…

While @kimleadbeater asserts her Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill poses no threat to communities facing barriers, disability campaigners are less sure. See @thelizcarr’s @BBCnews documentary “Better Off Dead?” assistedlab.ch/visual/better…
