Sam Seyed-Hosseini has penned a very thoughtful essay on The Suicide Tourist at his own Weblog, advocating a middle-road approach to assisted suicide.
While I do not agree with him on all points, Mr. Hosseini certainly expresses himself well. I think that my father (Craig Ewert) would have enjoyed having the chance to debate him.

Yahoo! Movies’ indieWIRE columnist Agnes Varnum puts The Suicide Tourist squarely in her Top 10 Documentaries of 2007 list, calling the movie “A heartbreaking tale of people seeking assisted suicide in the only place in the world where it is possible to recieve such help.”
A Special Mention went to The Suicide Tourist at the 2007 Vancouver International Film Festival, describing the film as “an unflinching, quietly compassionate hymn to life, full of moral complexity.”
