Description

Bobbie Farsides is professor of clinical and biomedical ethics at Brighton and Sussex Medical School. She’s been described as one of the few people that is acceptable to “both sides” of the assisted dying debate.

This week she joins us to talk about the way in which the debate on euthanasia has played out in the UK - and hear why she thinks it’s now time for all individual doctors to make up their own mind, and not let either camp own the argument for them.
