ASSISTED DYING BILL: DYING IN DIGNITY OR COMPROMISING ETHICAL AND RELIGIOUS BOUNDARIES?

Season 1, Ep. 1

Listen to this episode of The Debate show on the Assisted Dying Bill which seeks to allow terminally ill patients the option to end their lives under strict legal safeguards.

Sheikh Yunus Dudhwala, Head of Chaplaincy, Barts Health Trust
