I've just finished watching this incredibly moving story. With poise and grace this little family faced the ultimate, death. I hope as my life nears the end I'm able to have the opportunity to do the same in my own country, Australia. Thank you Laura and bless your beautiful girls.

What a stunning documentary! There is so much courage and love in this. This trio deserves a medal for breaking a taboo subject and making it a visual experience through Laura's Choice. I'm so glad the ABC is finally broadcasting this story now. The photography of both filmmakers is just sublime. Thank you for your courage to confront many emotions involved and working through them with Laura. Let's open the conversation about our human right to die with choices.

I just watched this on Tv with my mum, at first i was in disagreement but after watching the film and crying my eyes out, I think it was a much more dignified, peaceful and beautiful thing! (" You do the suffering, and I'll watch"! - Laura)💜💜💜

Bravo to this woman for coming forward to dispel the common notion that everyone must live and life is what is best for everyone. At half her age I'd make the same decision.
