This is a a portrait of the final days of an American with ALS who pursues physician-assisted suicide in the one place where it's legal for
foreigners to come to end their lives: Switzerland. With unique access
to Dignitas, the Swiss nonprofit that has helped more than 1,000 people
die since 1998, The Suicide Tourist follows Craig Ewert as he debates
the morality -- and confronts the reality -- of choosing to die before
his disease further ravages his body, and he loses the option to die
without unbearable suffering.
