"It's an individual choice," Sarandon told a press conference at the Toronto Film Festival as she defended physicians helping the terminally ill end their own lives.
Sarandon added doctor-assisted suicide has always been available to the wealthy, and should be made accessible to ordinary people who are also terminally ill and unable to end their own lives with dignity and without pain. But while respecting the right to choose medically assisted suicide, the Hollywood actress said she would be unable in real life to say goodbye to her own children by opting for euthanasia. "I couldn't have done it. Personally, not in a million years. Even knowing what's in store later for her, it would have been difficult to leave my children behind, at that point," Sarandon conceded.
