The concept of assisted suicide has become an incredibly hot topic in recent years.
Many stand by it as a valid medical option for terminally ill patients who don’t want to prolong their suffering, while many others assert that the practice is medically unethical.
Although the procedure has existed across numerous cultures for quite some time, it has had quite a bit of trouble picking up mainstream use; however, opinions towards the practice generally seem to be softening, as a real life assisted suicide was even broadcast on British television for the very first time in 2008.
While Mary Kills People will center on a protagonist who willingly participates in the process for a living, it seems that the overall tone of the series will allow it to look at the issue from both sides.
