Randal,
Filmakers Library has a wonderful film called "Last Rights." It asks
who should decide how life ends? The patient? The family? The
physician? The healthcare system? "Last Rights" is a compelling
documentary looking at the choices available to four dying people.
The intent is to introduce viewers to the complexity of end-of-life
choices. To access information please click on the title Last Rights.

Does anyone know if Frontline has reissued any of their earlier
episodes in DVD formats. Looking for the following, used heavily in
our philosophy program:
An Appointment with death
a production of K.A. Productions in association with TVOntario for
Frontline and The Health Quarterly ; Virginia Storring, producer ;
John Zaritsky, writer/director.
[Alexandria, Va.] : distributed by PBS Video, 1994.
If anyone has any suggestions for more recent productions, I'd be
interested in that also.
Best,

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion
of issues relating to the selection, evaluation,
acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current
and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions.
It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool
for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between
libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
