British tv to air assisted suicide.

Man, those Brits love their reality tv! From the Daily Mail:

Retired university professor Craig, 59, who suffered from motor neurone disease (MND), was filmed as he passed away comforted by his wife at a controversial Swiss euthanasia clinic.

The assisted suicide - organised by Swiss group Dignitas - will become the first ever to be shown on British television tomorrow night.

But the decision to allow the documentary to be broadcast was yesterday slammed by TV watchdogs, anti-euthanasia and pro-life campaigners alike.

Father-of-two Craig took the decision to end his life after motor neurone disease began to paralyse his ailing body and he was faced a drawn-out, agonising death.
