Synopsis
A one-hour, two-part documentary focusing on the practice of so-called "mercy-killing" in the Netherlands, where the practice of active, voluntary euthanasia -- whereby patients, conscious and aware of the gravity of their decision, make the choice to end their own lives -- is still technically illegal. Nevertheless, it has become a widely accepted medical procedure involving some 6,000 to 10,000 estimated cases each year.
