Terry Pratchett: Choosing to Die is a 2011 one-off television documentary produced by KEO North for BBC Scotland on the subject of assisted death, directed and produced by Charlie Russell. It is presented by Terry Pratchett and features Peter Smedley, a 71-year-old motor neurone disease sufferer, dying by assisted death at the Swiss assisted dying organisation, Dignitas. The film sparked strong controversy and was criticized by conservative Christian and anti-abortion organisations as "biased"; the accusations were denied by the BBC, the pro-assisted death organisation Dignity in Dying, and Terry Pratchett himself.

About Terry Pratchett: Choosing to Die

In 2008, celebrated author Sir Terry Pratchett was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Nearly three years on, Pratchett considers ways to end his life before the disease consumes him. His search takes him to Switzerland, where he meets some of the staff and clients of a non-profit organisation that provides assisted suicide to people suffering from severe ailments and terminal illnesses. In a quiet cottage outside Zurich, we—along with Sir Terry—witness a man's final moments with his wife.
