This is an undated handout photo issued Tuesday Dec. 9, 2008 by British TV channel Sky Real Lives, of Craig Ewert, 59, whose death in an assisted suicide in a Swiss clinic will be broadcast on British television Wednesday Dec, 10, 2008 . The British television channel says it plans to broadcast the death of an American man at a Swiss euthanasia clinic. The death of 59-year-old Craig Ewert in 2006 is due to be shown Wednesday during a documentary on the Sky Real Lives channel. Ewert had degenerative motor neuron disease and died at a clinic in Zurich run by the group Dignitas. Assisted suicide is legal in Switzerland in some circumstances and various organizations there provide suicide services. (AP Photo/Sky Real Lives/PA)AP - The scene is difficult to watch, even for viewers inured to the subject of dying by a steady diet of violent Hollywood and television fare. Craig Ewert, a former computer scientist from Chicago, is shown lying in bed with his wife at his side while he takes barbiturates. He asks for a glass of apple juice to mask the bad taste and help him swallow. Then he uses his teeth to turn off his ventilator - and dies on camera.

Britain condemned TV Suicide

Showing suicide as painless on TV and how to do it is not a great idea. Many things can be implied with out seeing it.
