Someone has been listening to the media too much.

It -WASNT- a pro-assisted killing piece of propaganda. People dont read into characters anymore. Her choice was completely within her character's personality...and if you followed anything the film, she wouldnt change her mind on something she put it to.

It's like saying Empire Strikes Back is pro-suicide because Luke drops to his "death".

This movie was fantastic. Definately going into the DvD collection at home. Best work Eastwood has done in his career.
