The Bush Telegraph: Debating dying


Listen Later

With MPs set to vote on a bill that puts forward proposals to give terminally ill people the right to end their lives, many of those who are against the bill worry about the lack of nuance put forward in debates. Actress and disability rights activist Liz Carr is one of those people. In this week’s Bush Telegraph, ahead of the bill’s introduction to parliament next week, Hannah chats to Liz about her documentary Better Off Dead?, the arguments against assisted dying, and why we aren’t hearing a more balanced debate on the subject.

Meanwhile in sport, Jen catches us up with the women’s T20 World Cup, and looks ahead to the UCI Track Cycling World Championships, next week.
