Fantastic doco, #LaurasChoice, about the amazing Laura Henkel's journey of assisted dying or rational suicide with her daughter @cathyhenkel and granddaughter @samlara. Moving! Honest! Brave!

@samlara amazing, emotional and truly compelling. I can’t stop crying. Your strong and loving family is an inspiration. I truly hope it creates discussion and helps people better understand and appreciate what this means to individuals and their families to end life this way 💕

[Sam Lara @samlara]

@adam_blom Oh Adam thank you! Grandma wanted a conversation, and she’s getting just that 🦢 (Ps I can’t stop crying reading everyone’s messages, so I guess we’re even 💛💛💛)

This is a super powerful film on voluntary assisted dying. I haven't stopped thinking about it, and debating its ideas in my head ever since: https://t.co/B3P81ysU0b (amazing work @samlara and Cathy Henkel)

Tonight #LaurasChoice on ABC TV PLUS at 8.45pm. An extraordinary story of one woman's determination to die on her own terms. Brilliant review here https://t.co/lv6cLGmpO0

Laura Henkel is eccentric, outspoken, and feisty. She is also 90 years old and has decided she wants to end her life on her own terms. #LaurasChoice 2021. #ABCyours
