Transparency, Autonomy, and the Trade-Off: Lessons on Assisted Dying

Euthanasia is currently illegal in the UK. Attempts to change the law have so far failed.

However other countries have legalised assisted dying and/or euthanasia. In this programme David Aaronovitch finds out what their experience has been and what, if anything, the UK could learn from that.

Joining David on the programme are:

- Imogen Goold: Professor of Medical Law at University of Oxford - Agnes van der Heide: Erasmus University Medical Center in Rotterdam - Thaddeus Pope: Professor, Health Law Institute, Mitchell Hamline School of Law (Minnesota, USA) - Richard Huxtable: Professor of Medical Ethics and Law at the University of Bristol

Production: Kirsteen Knight, Alex Lewis and Claire Bowes Production Co-ordinators: Jacqui Johnson and Gemma Ashman Sound: James Beard Editor: Richard Vadon
