I saw "The Sea Inside" and as a disabled person, I thought the movie was average. I feel certain this guy would have committed suicide as a normal person, and the fact he was disabled had little to do with his "kill myself" wishes.

Most disabled people I know( I know many ) have found an inner peace, even happiness, with their disability and killing themselves is not on the list of to-do's.

As is the case with most "gimp" movies, the movie shows a person with a very supportive family, love interests, and an overall average daily life. Generally, life is not so picturesque as portrayed in this movie.

As a disabled person, and I don't know what your disability is, but do you understand how someone who is a QUADRAPALEGIC would rather die? And your point about not always having the family to help is central to this movie. I'm curious what you think.
