Incorporate films,TV episodes, podcasts, and other media that include plots or conversations related to ethics and the activity of philosophical inquiry as an in-class activity. By viewing popular media, students understand that philosophical ideas and ethical issues are part of everyday, contemporary life. The suggested film and questions offer an opportunity for reflection on why the textual material matters, which can be used as the basis for discussion or assessment.

This film tells the story of Will Traynor, who is fully paralyzed after a traffic accident. Lou Clark is hired to take care of Will; they develop a relationship. After some time, Will reveals that his plan is to die with dignity after giving his parents six months of living. Lou must reckon with this decision as she tries to convince him not to commit suicide.

This film foregrounds the issues of dying with dignity very neatly. Students can discuss Lou's drive to "save" Will in terms of the ethical theories the book covers. Students can discuss whether they believe the right thing happens in the end. Because the film is a romance, students can also discuss the role of love in the narrative of dying.
