This is What Physician-assisted Suicide Actually Looks Like
TRIGGER WARNING: The following clip shows Roger Sagner partaking in physician-assisted suicide.
This from First to Know:
On October 27, 1997, Oregon became the first state in the US to legalize physician-assisted suicide. Since the law’s passing, more than 500 Oregonians have chosen to die with dignity.
Roger Sagner became the 343rd person to end his life by means of the Oregon Death with Dignity Act.
The clip above is the opening footage of the documentary How to Die in Oregon. It shows Sagner, an elderly man who was suffering from an advanced stage of cancer, impatiently insisting that he be given a lethal dose of drugs.
