I haven't seen the movie yet, River, but I know that it has raised major 
issues with the advocate group "Not Dead Yet" crowd in Chicago.  They have 
demonstrated several times passing out literature to those attending including 
national movie critics.
As consumers, we see movies of death and torture, as well as dangerous 
stunts.  I sincerely hope that we don't consider those actions to standard in 
our 
civil life.
Same could be said about the movie as I don't wish to reveal the end of it 
for those who may not have seen it yet.
Best Wishes

disability in such a way.  I was going to go see it, but not now.  I 
don't want to give it away if you want to see it, but am wondering why 
the blatant inaccuracies and "death is better than disabled" viewpoint 
isn't getting more media coverage.  Esp since the National Spinal Cord 
Injury Assoc. has come out against it.  Maybe I'm late and it's already 
been discussed here? >>
