Aquí os dejo unas cuantas reacciones al documental Choosing to Die, que se emitió hoy a las 10 de la noche, hora española, que duró una hora y al que siguió un debate sobre el suicidio asistido.
El documental es increíblemente duro, doloroso, conmovedor y, aún así, consigue tratar concierta elocuencia y seriedad algunas (sólo algunas) de las cuestiones alrededor de un tema tan complejo.

LIz Carr is wrong to say/think that terminally ill means you can'\t lift a cup. Otherwise she's an cogent debator #ChoosingToDie

Liz Carr on BBCNewsnight says disabled people frightened of assisted dying but BSA shows 75%in fact support change in the law#choosingtodie

Unfortunately, what #choosingtodie inadvertently highlights is that this decision is a choice only for white men who can afford it.

Currently trending are issues related to #choosingtodie and #Glee. Don't let them touch or there'll be an elimination explosion.

#Choosingtodie has left me so conflicted. Fully support the right to die with dignity & family but v concerned wth implications for disabled
lisybabe Lisa Egan
#choosingtodie Liz raising vital points about disabled people's concerns are never listened to/debated #newsnight

Oh a bishop on #Newsnight pretty much said "BBC aired outrageous euthanasia propaganda". And someone else.FFS. #choosingtodie.

TV off now; do not want to be harangued at by a bishop with an agenda #choosingtodie #notareligiousissue
lizmrawlins Liz Rawlins
next up, the #newsnight debate. THIS will be GOOD. prepare for some heated views #choosingtodie
highburyonfoot Caroline Russell
#choosingtodie was subtle, nuanced, intensely moving and not unambiguously pro-euthanasia propaganda. Does it need #newsnight debate?

When the cyborgs come, we will hunt them out by screening #choosingtodie and catching those who don't cry.

RT @The_Gunn_Man: This is where our license fee money should be going. To fund thought provoking programmes like #choosingtodie

Shedding actual tears #choosingtodie .So moving and in my view the right thing to do if that's what someone wants.

Blown away by Terry Pratchett's incredible bravery. Not to mention everyone else's on #choosingtodie

A beautiful & dignified programme @terryandrob. Hopefully it will open up more debate with regards to #choosingtodie

#choosingtodie Intensely moving. Sensitively presented and the most powerful piece of TV you'll see this year. #pratchett

It shouldn't have to be like this. No one should have to get on a plane to receive the right we afford all animals. #choosingtodie

decided to watch #choosingtodie as i thought it would help me with my RE exam 2morrow on euthanasia but instead its got me in tears!

Jawdropping stuff. Well done to @terryandrob (AND the BBC) for such an astonishingly moving programme. #tpctd #choosingtodie

Feel painfully sorry for this guy's poor wife. Unimaginable experience. #choosingtodie

Some people watching #choosingtodie can't understand why someone would end their life. I hope they never need to.

Maybe I should watch #choosingtodie before passing judgement. Perhaps against expectations, the consensus is that it's fair. iPlayer it is.

Peter's wife is being amazingly strong. I cannot imagine what I'd be like if that was me and my wonderful husband. #choosingtodie
bonitanorris Bonita
incredibly powerful television. the makers of #choosingtodie should be very proud
creatingle Sarah Francis
The thought of that poor wife, sitting alone on the plane on the way home is so sad. People should be at home, with family. #choosingtodie

If people choose to die they should be afforded choice and dignity. It's time parliament debated the issue properly. #choosingtodie

How long before UK people are allowed to choose when and how they die? It's a matter of freedom #choosingtodie
debmattinson Deborah Mattinson
This powerful film making case for #choosingtodie very eloquently indeed. Brave people #TerryPratchett

The humble way everyone is speaking is so arresting. Peter's wife on her husband going: "It will be a terrible wrench" #choosingtodie

what a totally surreal situation. Sitting around discussing whether he should die or not #choosingtodie

"It's much easier for the ones who go than the ones who have to stay behind." Woman in Dignitas clinic sums up my main issue. #ChoosingToDie

The humiliating hurdles placed in the way of rational people wanting to die make me angry. It could be much more dignified. #choosingtodie

For most patients suffering can be greatly eased with palliative care. There are few conditions this is not the case. #ChoosingtoDie
stuart_dryden Stuart D
There's a remarkable bravery about the families coping with the issues raised in #choosingtodie

I feel people are opposed because they can't understand why someone would want to die. But we cannot understand anyone fully.#choosingtodie

#Choosingtodie seems like a well balanced doc, showing both sides in a very personal & moving way... definitely food for thought.

Currently Trending: #ChoosingToDie How... lovely. Is it something to do with Paramore fans?

This guy killing himself, just seems so sane, and at ease with dying instantly. It's strange and scary. #choosingtodie

This is insane. It's beyond comprehension how considered and calm people can be when deciding to end it all. #choosingtodie

"He shouldn't be forced to go now" without choice in UK, many people have an assisted death before they're ready to die #choosingtodie
lisybabe Lisa Egan
#choosingtodie How can one truly make an assessment that someone is of sound mind when they're wanting to die? The notion is problematic.
stevepagehull Steve Page
#ChoosingToDie is harrowing but, paradoxically, life-affirming. Unbelievably moving stuff.
mjrobbins Martin Robbins
I think they've pitched this doc perfectly. Honest and moving. It's not pro-euthanasia propaganda as people have claimed. #choosingtodie

Without sounding ignorant, this potion drinking business reminds me of Dumbledore and the horcrux in Half Blood Prince. #ChoosingToDie

watching #TerryPratchett #choosingtodie quite a moving programme really,leaving me with mixed feelings

I think that guy's drink was the £4.89 Prosecco from Lidl. #choosingtodie

I understand the fear of painful death. But as a doctor who may become involved I have great unease about assisted dying.#ChoosingtoDie

I have to say the Switzerland place, decor, garden, is not my cup of tea in taste - would want to redecorate quickly #choosingtodie#bbc2

Prohibition =/= prevention. People will continue to end their lives;all current laws do are ensure botched attempts continue #choosingtodie
asdfghjkl_amy Amy.
When people take the trending topics completely out of context. #choosingtodie is a program on the BBC, think before you tweet, idiots
latentexistence Tentacle Sixteen
I'm confused. If you want to die because you are depressed, you aren't allowed to die? #choosingtodie #pratchett
PinkTribble Jayne
If you're not watching #choosingtodie because it's 'too depressing' but you are an #emmerdale fan and watched Jackson die you're an idiot.

Thank you to all of the brave people who choose to allow us via @terryandrob into a very private part of their lives #choosingtodie

I'm deliberately not watching #choosingtodie because I know it will make me weep uncontrollably, but even your tweets are making me teary

Emocionante. aún no he podido encontrar donde ver este documental, pero vi el discurso "Shaking Hands with Death" y no puedo estar más orgulloso de la causa que defiende Terry. Aunque es una que a mi se me presenta como algo perfectamente lógico desde siempre y voy a seguir compartiendo. por más que me duela profundamente la partida, prematura a mi desear, de este genio de la fantasía que tanta buena literatura nos ha dado.
A la espera vampiresca de nuevas entradas en este genial blog.
