Are we actually ready for assisted dying?
Published 1 year, 3 months ago
Description
This is a deeply personal, deeply divisive issue; and today a private members bill to permit assisted dying in the UK is being presented to the House of Commons.
Politicians will have a free vote on the issue later this year. The New Statesman this week asks whether the UK and its care system is ready for such a law.
In this episode we speak to those who've lost loved ones and are left with questions about whether an assisted death would have been better, as well as palliative care experts.
