Ist das nicht mein Leben? (1981)
Ein querschnittgelähmter Bildhauer, der nur mit Hilfe technischer Apparaturen leben kann, erzwingt seinen Tod durch einen richterlichen Spruch, der den Ärzten gebietet, alles zu unterlassen, was das Leben verlängern könnte. Das umstrittene Thema passive Sterbehilfe dient als Aufhänger für einen attraktiv gestalteten Unterhaltungsfilm, der sich als Plädoyer für ein humanes Sterben versteht.
