Glenn's Last Tape

When Glenn Scott, a Canadian lecturer, learnt that he had motor neurone disease (ALS) with its inevitably distressing endpoint, he decided to commit suicide in the city he loved most, Rome. He would have preferred the help of a doctor to end his life when he could no longer help himself, but this was illegal in most countries, so he had to devise a plan to kill himself while he still had the ability to mix the cocktail of lethal drugs and drink it.

To draw attention to what he saw as the unfairness of the current laws on euthanasia, he enlisted the help of actor, Miriam Margolyes, and documentary director, Karl Sabbagh, to make this documentary - Glenn's Last Tape - that has never been seen before in the 15 years since Glenn's death, which was recorded on a camera he had set up and seen here in the final moments of this documentary.

The video is 38 minutes.
