Terry Pratchett Lecture - Shaking Hands With Death - Videos

This series of 6 videos are from the BBC Richard Dimbleby Lecture from the Royal College of Physicians when Terry Pratchett presented Shaking Hands With Death talking about his personal life with Alzheimers disease and the case for assisted dying.  Sir Terry Pratchett is the well known English novelist who has sold more than 65 million books worldwide. Terry Pratchett made public that he was suffering from early-onset Alzheimer’s disease in December 2007.  The lecture is orated by Tony Robinson at the request of Terry Pratchett.

A moving and emotional account, well worth watching to get a better understanding of why people in difficult circumstances would want to choose this option rather than suffer.
