This episode focuses on assisted dying and we hear from a range of people who support a change in Scottish law to allow the option of assisted dying for terminally ill, mentally competent adults. The podcast is hosted by Ally Thomson, director of Dignity in Dying Scotland, and opens with award winning Scottish author Andrew O’Hagan explaining why he supports legalised assisted dying. Next up our Chief Exec Fraser Sutherland is in conversation with Church of Scotland Minister Reverend Scott McKenna as they discuss how Scott balances his religious beliefs with his support for assisted dying. The third segment of our podcast involves a very raw conversation between the daughters of Heather Black, an Edinburgh charity worker and campaigner who died a very traumatic death last year. CONTENT WARNING: This segment involves graphic description of a difficult death and is not suitable for younger listeners or anyone who may be affected by descriptions of a traumatic death, grief, and trauma arising from either of these. In his regular segment, Brian Eggo fact checks some of the common mistruths used by opponents of assisted dying. We end the podcast with a trip down under as ex-MSP Maro Biagi and assisted dying campaigner for Go Gentle Australia Frankie Bennet discuss what lessons Scotland can take from the successful assisted dying campaigns that have been held in Australia and New Zealand.
