Fergus Walsh practically played himself in this movie since he was the interviewer of the real Anne Turner for the BBC back in 2006.
The character Clare was invented for the purposes of dramatisation and to portray the view of someone against assisted dying.
"[Anne is discussing her planned suicide with the doctor from Dignitas] Swiss Doctor: The procedure will take place in our organisation's apartment. A trained volunteer will assist you. He will have to video you taking the medicine which I will prescribe. Dr. Anne Turner: [in a weak voice] Yes, I understand. Swiss Doctor: And your children will be with you. Dr. Anne Turner: To the end, yes. It's what they want. Swiss Doctor: Is it what *you* want, Dr Turner? [Anne pauses for a long time] Dr. Anne Turner: I thought it was. Thought I knew for sure. But now I know something I didn't before coming here. Swiss Doctor: What is that? Dr. Anne Turner: I've broken their hearts. Swiss Doctor: By dying? Dr. Anne Turner: By dying. Swiss Doctor: You are honest. And your children, they are honest too? Dr. Anne Turner: They are, yes. Swiss Doctor: Then they are where they want to be - with you. Dr. Anne Turner: [in a strong voice] Practical matters. Is the taste horribly bitter? Swiss Doctor: It will be, yes. Dr. Anne Turner: Does it ever fail? Swiss Doctor: No, it never fails. [the doctor signs a prescription for the barbiturate] Swiss Doctor: It is a strange thing you do today. It does require courage. You have it."
"[in a letter delivered to her friends after her death] Dr. Anne Turner: [voiceover] Forgive me for not telling you in advance of my intentions, for not saying goodbye properly. Because the law in the UK is not supportive, I have had extra complications which have required a certain degree of secrecy. I hope I have spared you some of the pain and grief which those very few people in the know have experienced. My life has been wonderful and varied. I have always recognised how fortunate I am. Thank you for your friendship, love and support. Yours, Anne."
