BBC安樂死紀錄片：死亡倒數 震撼百萬觀衆

In this current age we feel compelled to share every aspect of our lives. We blog about diets, health, fitness. We tweet intimate details of our relationships and mental health conditions. So it was only a matter of time before someone decided toshare their death via a BBC documentary.
如今這個時代，我們不由自主要分享生活的方方面面。我們在博客上記錄飲食、健康還有健身。我們在寫推文記錄我們戀情的私密細節和我們的精神健康狀態。所以，要是有人決定通過BBC紀錄片來分享其死亡也只是時間問題而已。

That someone was 57-year-old Simon Binner, the subject of How to Die: Simon's Choice. But rather than just a crazed bid for attention, what Simon created was an incredibly sad yet important film as his "choice" was an assisted suicide.
那人便是57歲的西蒙·賓那，《如何死亡：西蒙的選擇》所表現的對象。倒不是爲了奪人眼球，西蒙所創作的是部極度悲傷卻又交關重要的影片，他的“選擇”便是安樂死。

Filmed in 2015, the documentary followed Simon after his diagnosis with motor neurone disease. He immediately made the decision that – when the time was right – he would end his own life.
紀錄片拍攝於2015年，從西蒙被診斷爲運動神經元疾病開始跟拍。西蒙當下即做決定，若時機合適，他便結束自己的生命。

Within nine months of diagnosis Simon had been stripped of his voice, his mobility, his dignity and what he described as his "manliness". The declining movement in his hands – which he used to type letters, texts and emails – was the last straw.
九個月的診斷期裏，西蒙失聲不能語、喪失了行動能力、失去了尊嚴和他所謂的“男子氣概”。他過去用來打信件、發短信和電子郵件的雙手一日不及一日靈活，成了壓垮他的最後一根稻草。

This film should be compulsory viewing because if there are people out there who are genuinely more terrified of not dying than they are of dying, then their voices should be heard.
這部影片一定要看 ，要是別處還有人比起死亡而言，真心更畏懼其不得終了，他們的心聲我們一定要聆聽。
