You might not think a discussion about changing the law to make it easier to end your life is exactly your cup of tea, but rest assured this week’s episode of Movers and Shakers is both lively and illuminating.
Assisted dying laws are spreading across the USA. Like most other things in life, why not follow the gold standard, rather than trying to reinvent the wheel. As a healthcare professional, I have witnessed the deaths of many. Perhaps more judges and politicians should spend a few years caring for the dying. Perhaps then they will have a full understanding of the need for assisted dying/euthanasia.
The podcast left me disappointed with the proposed Bill. It is either a cynical attempt to appear to give campaigners and the majority of the public what they are seeking but apply obstructive limitations or a cunning attempt to get assisted dying on the Statute Book with a view to making less limiting amendments in the future.

Can you elaborate please on "follow the gold standard"? Where does that exist?
