Death is going to happen to all of us and affect all us, however it’s not always on our terms.
In this episode we explore assisted dying and choosing to take control over your death when a terminal illness has left you no choice.
Euthanasia Researcher Dr Jessica Young talks us through how she became one of New Zealand’s leading voices on assisted dying and euthanasia and what the biggest misconceptions about the topic are.
You’ll hear about why people choose assisted dying, what the process involves, and the safety measures in place to make sure people are making the decision for themselves and not being coerced.
Jessica talks through the 2020 euthanasia referendum in New Zealand which saw 65.1% of the nation vote yes for it to be legal.
The mum-of-two also talks about how she stays positive and keeps her cup full when her life is surrounded by death.
