PBS News Weekend

Season 3, Episode 39 of 86

With the most liberal laws in the world governing physician-assisted suicide, which have been on the books since 2002, surveys in the country show overwhelming support for its legality. Doctors say it gives terminally ill patients experiencing constant and unbearable suffering a practical and humane way to die peacefully. But even in a country with far-reaching acceptance, controversy still remains. NewsHour's Megan Thompson reports.
