Whose Life Is It anyway?

Whose Life Is It Anyway? is an excellent moving film with a first rate performance by Richard Dreyfuss. It's very thought provoking about a person having the right to die. Personally I think his character does make the right choice. Life in a hospital as a vegetable is not a life. However the one thing that's always bothered me is how short the trial is. In similar real life cases, a trial about the issue of right to die would take much more than that one short session. It would probably take months in fact.

I agree with this person. Harrison made a right choice. He must die. In the hospital, he is having a very hard time and people don't consider him like normal human.
Also, to make him alive, thousands of dollars are used per week. But in some places like Africa, one person can save one's life with less than a dollar. So Harrison's survival is making hundreds of people in Africa to die. Also he has no hope of recovering to normal state. Therefore he is just a waste of money. Also, he wants to suicide. Even a person with normal mind sometimes wants to suicide. Mental disease is not the only thing that makes people to suicide.
