12/02(Tue.) Me before you (Host: Luis Ko)

[Luis Ko]

please note that the questions might be revised.


SESSION ONE:

1. Do you believe in true love? Why or why not? What do you think the reasons are for Lou to fall in love with Will? Did Lou truly love Will for who he was, or it’s out of sympathy and the idea of "fixing" him? Could their relationship have survived long-term if Will had chosen to live, in your opinion? What is love? what is true love?

2. What makes you fall in love with someone? Does the ending suggest Will’s choice was "right," or does it leave room for debate? If you were Will, what would be your decision? If you know the love won’t have a result, will you still fall in??

3. What makes life worth living? Would you support Will if he was your beloved one/loved ones? Can love conquer all? Can love ever justify overriding someone’s life-or-death decision?


SESSION TWO:

4. Do you know what Euthanasia and assisted suicide are? Please explain them to your table members.

5. It’s said everyone has the right to life. The right to life means that nobody can try to end your life. Do you think people should also have the right to die? Do you support Euthanasia and assisted suicide? Some people use “right to life” to go against “right to die”, what’s your opinion?

6. What does death mean to you? What's your attitude(thought?) towards death? Your own, your friends', your beloved one's/loved ones', etc. please try to envisage it. What would you do if your beloved one/loved ones are declared to be in a vegetative state, or declared brain death? How do you cope with loss and grief?
