- Terry Pratchett: My name is Terry Pratchett, and I write fantasy novels for a living. I am 62 and I was diagnosed with Alzheimer's three years ago. Somtimes, particularly when I'm depressed, I dread what the future may hold. And it occurred to me that, in these modern times, one shouldn't have to fear that sort of thing. I am talking about assisted dying, which is currently not legal in this country. What you are about to watch may not be easy, but I believe it's important. The people that I will meet in this film are all, like me, considering how they will die. Is it possible for someone like me, or like you, to arrange for themselves the death that they want?
