Watch Ladies of the Kind Death

The Lady of Kind Death was a woman in Sardinian culture who performed an ancient form of euthanasia. It was a ritual of Sardinian tradition with roots going back into the mists of time, but carried out as recently as the 1960s. Kept out of sight of the Roman Catholic culture that considered her a murderer, she is a legendary figure - as alive in the popular mind as the vampires of Transylvania.
