흥미로운 사실

Better Off Dead? is a documentary on assisted suicide written and presented by disability rights activist Liz Carr, which was broadcast on BBC One in May 2024. During the documentary, she advocates against the legalisation of assisted suicide in the United Kingdom due to concerns for its implications for disabled people. The programme received generally positive reviews.

Background

Carr has arthrogryposis and began using wheelchairs aged 11. In 2011, after the BBC broadcast Terry Pratchett: Choosing to Die, she asked to make a documentary presenting the opposite view. Better Off Dead? was commissioned in 2023, is one hour long, and was broadcast on BBC One on 14 May 2024. During production, Carr said that the talk with her mother about her childhood experiences was emotionally draining and made her feel "really quite ill".
