Did anyone else see the start of Inside New Zealand tonight? OMG I am fuming right now! They showed an old guy talking you through a "foolproof" way to kill yourself. Nice. Like NZ doesn't have a high enough youth suicide rate, let's fricken put new methods on television! I can't get over how irresponsible they are!

I have just turned it over I was watching Hells Kitchen, but it isn't the same without Gordon.

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

Ugh, after that intro I couldn't watch anymore. They honestly showed all the steps to take, and the items to use, and how to make it "real".

I have no problem with voluntary euthenasia, but there was absolutely no need to show that on tv.

You can complain to the BSA here, which is probably a good idea as they are giving you info on how to kill yourself and that really isn't on.

I complained. I fully believe in the right to choose when you are sick, having watched my dad and all his family die awful deaths, however, with Anges death still so painfully fresh in my mind, I just can't believe they actually told you how to do it. I turned over.

They did say at the begining they they had cut out some crutial steps to make it succesful, because they didnt want to show people how to atcually do it.
I still think it was pretty shocking, I'm sure people could do just what he did and still be able to do it!
Normally I would agree that it isnt fair for people to have to suffer but all those people all seemed pretty with it still. Didnt watch much of it though, the begining put me off

They cut out crucial steps? That was a bunch of crap. The bloody plastic bag, rubber band and face mask is all you need! /me swears
I think it's immoral and disgusting. I totally agree with if you wanna go, then you're gonna go, but theres no need to put it on TV!!!!!!!

I'm in two minds about it really, yes I think the portraying of him with his plastic bag and going through the steps was off but also it's TV and they're going to put in shock value. Plus I don't see how it's any worse than watching horror movies etc that give you a million ways to kill yourself or others - you have a choice to watch it and if you don't want to, switch the channel.

I watched the whole doco and was quite interested by it, and the reasons the oldies gave for it. I still struggle with it being so open, but I can also see where it would have its place. And these were not young, well people talking about topping themselves either - all of them had serious ailments, like one woman who discussed the fact that soon she would have such brittle bones that the small task of walking could cause her bones to snap. God I wouldn't want to 'live like that'.

I also don't understand why you would complain if you didn't see the doco? That seems a bit odd to me as you don't even know what you're complaining about?

And they said the exact name of the drug you can buy to overdose yourself. I realise that that information is probably readily available onthe net etc, but I am shocked that it was just out there on the tele.

I didn't complain as I didn't see that bit, just provided the place to complain too.

I thought the opening scene was awful showing you how easily you could commit suicide and given our teen suicide rate, inappropriate. The rest of the documentary was quite interesting. Each of them had their own rationale.

What I found bizzare is that the woman who actually did it was off travelling overseas two months before her death. She just wanted to time her own death before she lost her independence. To me that is suicide not euthenasia. She didn't have a terminal illness or physical disabilities that severely inhibited her quality of life like the others did.
