- Series Description
FRONTLINE is investigative journalism that questions, explains and changes our world. Since 1983, FRONTLINE has served as PBS's flagship public affairs series. Hailed upon its television broadcast debut as "the last best hope for broadcast documentaries," FRONTLINE's stature is reaffirmed each week through incisive documentaries covering the scope and complexity of the human experience.
- Program Description
Rebroadcast of "Choosing Death." NOTE: this version does not include the studio segment, instead includes an updated epilogue.
Because euthanasia and doctor-assisted suicide are illegal in this country, most doctors and patients involved in the practices are unwilling to discuss their personal experiences. In filmmaker John Zaritsky's Frontline co-produced documentary segment of this two-hour special, however, doctors, patients and families in Holland are quite candid about their life-and-death decisions: euthanasia is practied openly in that country.
