Director Ciarán Kelly is joined by former palliative care doctor Dr Gillian Wright, eating disorder expert Chelsea Roff and the Institute’s Head of Policy and Research Dave Greatorex. Together they assess some of the arguments presented to the Committee tasked with scrutinising Kim Leadbeater’s Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, better known as the assisted suicide Bill.

Should concerned relatives face criminal charges for trying to talk a loved one out of seeking assisted suicide?
