21.03.2005 The recent Academy Awards saw the triumph of two films that provide a favourable view of euthanasia. "Million Dollar Baby," a story about a female boxer severely wounded in a bout, won four of the top Oscars. The Oscar for best foreign film went to "The Sea Inside," which depicts the real-life story of a diver who became quadriplegic. In each case, euthanasia was seen as the solution.
