The issue of legalising assisted dying has become particularly topical as Kim Leadbeater’s Private Member’s Bill is due to have its crucial Second Reading in the House of Commons on 29th November this year.
The talk will clarify the nature of assisted dying, distinguishing it from assisted suicide and euthanasia. It will then make the positive case for legalising assisted dying. Much of the talk will then be devoted to discussing the objections that have been raised by opponents of legalisation and demonstrate how they are unfounded.
