----more----ASSISTED DYING: HAS ITS TIME COME?

A new, live, #BattleFest recording from the Battle of Ideas festival 2021:
www.battleofideas.org.uk/session/assi…s-time-come/

After previous efforts failed, will this year be the year the UK grants a ‘right to die’? What are the moral issues at stake? What, politically, does a right to die mean in a society seemingly obsessed with good health? Should people be given the choice, and assistance, to end their lives, or is it a threshold which must not be crossed?

Listen to Joel Cohen, David Pearce, Dr Richard Scheffer, Professor Katherine Sleeman and Dr Kevin Yuill discuss.
