Why we posted epilepsy film to YouTube

Epilepsy charities condemned Russell Barth and Christine Lowe's YouTube seizure video as a "freak show". Not so, say the couple: the movie has saved lives. The Guardian reports.

"... The footage that has "had over 250,000 views" is titled "Graphic Epileptic Seizure Footage". It belongs to my wife and I, and it can be found on YoutTube.

This footage is, by all accounts, the most compelling piece of epileptic seizure footage available online. Possibly anywhere.

That piece of footage was shot with the assistance of our friend David, in January 2003, at the repeated insistence of my wife Christine. She wanted to know what happened to her body while she was seizing, and we were under standing orders to catch any footage possible."
