The Sea Inside (I) (2004)

Francesc Garrido: Marc

Quotes 

• Marc : In a state declared as lay and that recognizes the right to the private property and which constitution expresses also the right not to suffer tortures or degrading treatments, is correct to say, that whomever sees his position as degrading, as in Ramon Sampedro's case, should be able to decide over his own life. In fact, no one that attempts suicide and survives is judged afterwards, but... when you need the help of someone else to die with dignity, then the state interferes with the freedom of the people and tells them that the life they are living is not theirs, that they can't make decisions about it. This, Your Honor, can only be done based on metaphysical beliefs, or religious. In a state, I repeat... that is declared lay, Your Honor, I ask for a legal answer, but above all, rational and human.
