Synopsis

Ann Humphry, with her husband Derek (author of the "assisted suicide" manual "Final Exit") co-founded the Hemlock Society, leading the fight to legalize euthanasia. Her suicide in 1991, and her allegation that her husband drove her to it, made headlines worldwide. Rita Marker, who has long been one of euthanasia's opponents, relates the detail of Ann's tragic death, and of their improbable friendship, and presents all the issues involved in the euthanasia debate, from allowing nature to take its course to giving every doctor the right to kill.
