Australian TV Bans Pro-euthanasia Advert

THE TELEGRAPH: Australia has banned the first televised pro-euthanasia advert which featured a terminally ill man saying: "I did not choose this."



The 45-second advert featured an ill-looking man sitting on a bed talking about the choices he has made in life.

"I chose to marry Tina, have two great kids. I chose to always drive a Ford," the actor says. "What I didn't choose is being terminally ill.

"I didn't choose to starve to death because eating is like swallowing razor blades. I certainly didn't choose to have to watch my family go through it with me. I've made my final choice. I just need the government to listen." >>> | Tuesday, September 14, 2010
