  • Interview with Dr Richard Lawson on the "suicide pill" question

    20:11|
    In 1983, a GP from a village near Bristol was so worried about the prospect of nuclear war, and how it would leave him unable to effectively treat his patients, that he called a public meeting and asked the residents whether they'd wish him to issue "suicide pills" in the event of nuclear war. I interviewed Dr Richard Lawson to ask him about this very painful question. You can watch the full video interview on my Patreon page at www.patreon.com/atomichobo
