Having spent a good deal of time studying right to die legislation, films like this give us a look at the cruelty sometimes associated with heroic measures to revive people. Often it is against their wishes and involves frightening technology. Here, a very old woman, longs to be reunited (in death) with her loving husband. Just as she is about to pass, she is hit with paddles. No one can blame the doctors, but often there is a time for such things. A really funny, but also, tragic, film.
