About this episode
"My parents have been enthusiastic about this ever since they found out about it. Oh, that would be nice. And I'm like — okay, guys, just don't let them convince you to die."
Hannah Wallen hosts on the assisted dying bill for England and Wales, passing its Commons vote while the article they're reading is a year old and describes exactly what happens next.
Also: what "a vote for the status quo" is really a vote for, why the same MPs who won't allow the state to execute a mass murderer will allow it for a grandmother with a brain tumour, what Canada and Australia are being used to test, and the suicide statistic that changes completely depending on whether you count attempts or deaths.
"The health service is run by machines that hate us and want us dead. The machines are run by people, so it's hard to describe. But it is a machine, and the cogs of it are civil servants."
