Marcus Stead and Greg Lance-Watkins discuss the topic of assisted dying in a way that is both sensitive and forthright.
This is a complicated subject matter that generates strong opinions on all sides. On the one hand, few would argue against the principle that people should be allowed to die with dignity and minimal suffering when all meaningful quality of life has gone.
On the other hand, legalising assisted dying could be a slippery slope – if we’re not careful, vulture family members may end up pressurising elderly relatives to end their own lives if they are set to benefit from their wills, and the mentally unwell could see assisted dying as an option where what they really need is better support.
Greg brings an interesting perspective on this – he has been battling kidney and bladder cancer for well over two decades – he’s doing alright at the moment but he knows what it’s like to face death.
