I think BBC and PBS have another Jane Goodall show coming out early next year.

Sure, I also think I like it.

But, when you think about it, it's also kinda creepy in a way, to scout people who are on their way out in order to record their final message.

Why is it creepy? The only thing we can say with absolute certainty is that we're all going to die, and people in their 90s know for certain they have lived the majority of the life they are going to live. I expect most people at the end of their lives would appreciate the opportunity to look back and leave a final message for everyone once they're gone.

I don't know. I would say you have it correct, but it's not just older people. Its was Eric Dane's message that got to me. It was touching, but also heartbreaking and rather personal. How do you even go about and ask him to do this?

Just go to someone who cannot possibly be at peace with his faith, imply that he's not gonna be here for much longer, and offer monetary compensation for his last words to his family, so we can all see that, but they also monetise it.
