A Calgary seniors’ acting group is exploring a shocking future for the elderly in a play called Bill C773.
Chris Hetherington plays the senator who proposed the law requiring people to depart at 85. He says humans have a tendency to kick unpleasant subjects, whether climate change or the grey tsunami down the road.
He said being part of the play and now being a senior has increased his awareness of the issues the play raises. Day made it clear she is not advocating for medical assistance in dying but is hoping the play starts a conversation.“I’m very aware now of where I’m heading and I would hope that I would make some good choices. I would not want to be one of the ones sitting in a chair and drooling,” Day said.
