An article by the new york times talks about a father who was 92 and decided to end his life. The story talks about how the movie last flight home was based of this real event. The father was a successful businessman who had lost everything becuse of a stroke at 53 which got him paralyzed on the left side of his body. Later he struggled financially and couldn’t get over the feeling of not providing and being a burden. The films popularity gained sympathy and high emotions from those that watched it.
I think that this story is incredible sad becuse who know how long the father would have lived if he had not chosen the easy way out. Yes, he was suffering but giving up was not a morally right action and it caused his pain to go to his family becuse his family would miss him. To end his life in that way and leave his family with possibilities of what if was selfish and inconsiderate while he chooses to lay comfortably on his deathbed. The story was a good message to the people in the world who could sympathize with the father. Although I believe it’s kinda sad that the story of his life became a form of entertainment. Such a close and intimate moment being shared with a huge amount of people.
