Novara FM: Against Assisted Dying w/ Ellen Clifford

Your death should be your own, as much as possible. That’s one of the principles behind the Assisted Dying Bill. It lets adults with less than 6 months to live end their lives.

But disability campaigners fear that people who don’t want to die might be pressured to let themselves be killed.

Ellen Clifford is the author of The War on Disabled People: Capitalism, Welfare and the Making of a Human Catastrophe. She spoke to Richard Hames about one of the most fraught debates of our era.
