I watched another quad movie called "The Sea Inside Me", where the guy gets
paralyzed diving I believe and lives for 20years and its clearly seen as a
burden to at least his brother, then he meets a woman that becomes his friend
and eventually helps him commit suicide. Another movie that follows the same
problem was "Million Dollar Baby", where Clint Eastwood pulls the plug on a
girl that he trained to fight, her family was to worried about going to
Disneyland to care.

{}#yiv8436753723 You all are aware of the controversy around "Me Before You,"
right? It's no spoiler to say the quad decides he's too much of a burden on
his girlfriend and "nobly" commits suicide. The movie portrays this as a
righteous and romantic sacrifice, a bold and loving choice. Pretty offensive
and potentially dangerous, if you ask me (which no one did).
