Whether we call it assisted dying, assisted suicide or euthanasia, the practise of a medical professional assisting a person to end their life, has long provoked debate.
This talk will be recorded and published on GIAF's Youtube Channel in early Autumn.
Actor and activist Liz Carr, who stars in Unspeakable Conversations at this year’s Festival, and has recently made a documentary Better Off Dead? for the BBC on assisted suicide, discusses challenging the assumptions behind these actions and shining a light on the many grey areas in this often one sided debate.
In a society where disabled people are often told they’re ‘better off dead’ than disabled, Liz asks: “Should we really be giving more power to end that group of people’s lives?”
She is joined in conversation by playwright Christian O’Reilly.
