There are already many excellent works related to the subject of "euthanasia", such as the Spanish film "Deep Sea Sleep" that once won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film Award, and "Million Dollar Baby" that has a touch of this material. In fact When we talk about "death", we talk more about "life", and how we view "death" is often determined by how a person views "life". People who support euthanasia often say that “people should have the right to die with dignity.” More works in the past often express their feelings from the perspective of “death seekers”, and “What You Don’t Know "Jack" is adapted from real events, showing all aspects of euthanasia from the perspective of an euthanasia executor. Compared with the "death-seeking" perspective, this perspective has the advantage that it can take into account two-way emotional performance. On the one hand, we can understand the views of a euthanasia doctor on it, and on the other hand, we can use the doctor’s perspective, At the same time, you can also see the feelings of the "dead-seeking", and because the doctors involve more extensive and diverse patients, the emotional performance of these patients who hope to end their lives from his perspective is more diverse and impactful.
When watching "Jack You Didn't Know", I also thought of another British movie "Vila Drake". In that movie, the old woman Vera Drake was not only working as a cleaner, but she was also engaged in helping some unmarried women who had gotten pregnant with abortions. This was an illegal act at the time. One day things were revealed, and she also stood. In the trial seat of the court. The reason I think of this film is that Jack and Vera, one helping others to euthanize, and the other helping women to have abortions, seem irrelevant, but in fact, they have similarities. They are all helping some people who have lost their right to choose. People, let them have the right to choose. We are always happy to share stories about fighting illnesses, but while spreading these stories, it seems to spread a spirit rather than a true care for the suffering of patients, as if the description of their suffering, Just to pave the way for the later medical miracle. In my opinion, this in itself is a kind of pseudo-humanistic care. It is preconceived to build a monument of "unending struggle" rather than truly caring about the person itself, as if this spirit is to give people who are seriously ill a "to be strong". Facing the shackles of". Before Jack assists patients in performing euthanasia, he will videotape them so that they or their loved ones can express their pain and choices. This is a moving move in itself. Finally, human suffering is placed at the center, and you will feel that you don’t want to live together. There is no superiority or inferiority to the painful survival, he is all a personal choice, the individual draws an end to his life or a way to continue. As terminally ill patients, their greatest pain is that their seriously ill bodies have not listened to their orders, and "suicide" itself has become a way that they have no choice. Whether family members or doctors are emotional or moral, they have no choice. It is difficult to make the choice to let them die. In a sense, they are unfortunate patients who have been deprived of their right to choose. Similar to those who are seriously ill, Vera faces some pregnant women who seem to be able to move freely, but because abortion is prohibited by law, and because safe abortion has technical barriers, they are actually deprived of their choice. Women with power, they are also given a shackle to be "strongly faced" by the society, and they are forced to assume unprepared responsibilities.
Regardless of physical function or social environment, a group of people cannot make their own choices, and the value of Jack and Vera is also controversial in trying to correct this imbalance with personal efforts. Vera embarked on the path of helping young women have abortions more out of an old woman's natural emotional trajectory, hoping to help these poor girls. Compared with Jack, he has greater ambitions. When he took office in the hospital, he adhered to the concept of legalization of euthanasia. After retiring, he was free from the constraints of the system, and he devoted more passion to the legalization of euthanasia. The road, and even practice it personally. Due to legal constraints, Jack and his supporters had to choose a way to exploit the loopholes and design special equipment so that weak patients could start injecting reagents for themselves. And this move has also inadvertently strengthened the value of euthanasia. From the whole film, we see that the patients have been willing to communicate with Jack until the final execution. All are his own choices. Jack is exactly that. People who have built a platform for them to realize their wishes. With regard to euthanasia, I have always held a philosophical stance, but at the technical level, there are also concerns about how to correctly understand and convey the patient’s correct intentions. In this film, Jack has shown his good medical ethics. We have seen several In the case, after communicating with the other party, he rejected the patient's euthanasia suggestion, pointing out that they were only emotionally depressed. Jack's judgment on patients also brings out more three-dimensional thinking about the issue of "medical ethics". In the field of medicine, both the "Hippocratic Oath" and the "Nightingale Oath" have shown a stance that the patient’s interests are paramount. However, when many people later criticized euthanasia, they singled out that doctors should "survive" for patients. However, when a patient wants to end his life with minimal pain, is it still the patient's interest to live in pain? Therefore, in order to truly protect the interests of patients, what is needed is probably not a patient who opposes seeking death in a conditioned reflex, but to really interact with the patient and experience his true demands. Jack’s approach is a manifestation of medical ethics. He has the goal of making "euthanasia" legal, but has not lost his mind because of this, and calmly communicated with each patient to understand the true interests of the patient.
Sometimes we antagonize "life" and "death" too much. Yes, "death" represents the disappearance from the material world. It is frightening, but it is the other side of life that everyone must reach. Therefore, "death" is also an extension of "life". Those who wish to euthanize are actually a kind of survival. What they seek is the end of "life" of their own choice, and the beginning of "death", and their choice , Shouldn't we give more respect? In this film, Al Pacino showed the upright stance of a somewhat hunched and old doctor. He cared for each individual and at the same time appeared paranoid, even in the end he went directly to the system to provoke him. The same veteran movie star Susan Sarandon also gave a wonderful performance in the film. As a supporter of Jack, when she finally found out that she was terminally ill, she also chose euthanasia and let her best friend send it away. For the last journey of the world in which I was born, this choice and trust are deeply moving. From Vera Drake to Jack Kowokian, they gave individuals the right to choose in disputes. The disputes accompany them throughout their lives, and the law also sanctions them. However, no matter how others see them, they arouse The collision of different viewpoints is driving more people to think about these taboo topics. This is also the value of their enlightenment, and it also saves people full of confidence for future changes.
