The Death of Assisted Dying
About this episode
The episode discusses the recent failure to legalize assisted dying in the UK and its implications on morality and legislation.
Returning this week after our Easter break, we find ourselves returning to the topic of assisted dying. Charlie has been one of the architects of an attempt to get assisted dying legalised in the UK, but after a long process and very public debate, the bill has been scuppered on his own turf in the House of Lords. How did this happen? What does it tell us about the intersection of morality and legislation? And where next for proponents of assisted death? Law and Disorder is a Podot podcast. Hosted by: Charlie Falconer, Helena Kennedy, Nicholas Mostyn. Executive Producer and editor: Nick Hilton. Associate Producer: Ewan Cameron. Music by Richard Strauss, arranged and performed by Anthony Willis & Brett Bailey. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
