BBC shows on death seem to be popular...from natural death in hospice to assisted suicide

Are we fascinated with death....it appears in the UK they are...and we probably are as well. 

The BBC is airing the final days of a man who is being cared for in a hospice facility. This is in response to the previous airing of documentary of a man  traveling to Switzerland to partake of  assisted suicide  at Dignitas. BTW, the owner of Digitas is reported to be quite wealthy for his efforts in running a modest apartment where he offers a lethal cocktail and disposal of remains usually by  cremation. People arguing against assisted suicide felt that this feature was nothing more than a cheer leading for the practice which is not yet legal in the UK. BBC also aired a special about a woman going to Dignitas to have an assisted suicide because she did not want to die of old age. Yikes....are we that narcissistic ??
