Summary

As the UK prepares for a crucial parliamentary debate on the Assisted Dying Bill, the Unbelievable? podcast delves into this emotionally charged issue. Unlike in countries such as the USA, Canada, and the Netherlands, assisted dying remains illegal in the UK—but that could soon change. Labour MP Kim Leadbeater's Private Member's Bill has reignited discussions on autonomy, ethics, and the role of palliative care in end-of-life decisions. This episode brings together two leading voices, Professor Keith Brown and Neil McKain, to explore the implications of this contentious proposal.
