Will Traynor and the right to die

First of all, just want to say that I really enjoyed this movie. It was better than I anticipated and definitely had me reaching for the Kleenex (and I'm a mid 20s dude). I'm even keen to read the book it's based on now. One of the things I didn't always like was the choice of music at times - I thought it somehow cheapened various scenes or moments to suit a young female audience.

Upon reflecting a bit further on the movie, I began to have conflicted thoughts about the character of Will. I am pro-euthanasia, but he seemed to be learning to love life and another person again thanks to Lou? I couldn't help but feel that this was a man born into immense wealth and privilege, who had never known struggle in his life. The moment he faced 'struggle' for the first time in his life - he quits. All too hard for him.

I'll never judge anyone for the choices they make in life, but I couldn't help but feel a little differently when thinking of his immensely privileged position in life and his choice to then die. I couldn't help but wonder about those significantly less fortunate than him (but in the same quadriplegic condition), and how their perspective on life may differ to that of Will's - due to their differing pre-disabled lives.
