Just a handful of countries allow assisted dying or euthanasia or
both - most notably Switzerland and the Netherlands. It is a
difficult and contentious area for policymakers. This week in the
UK, the highly controversial Assisted Dying Bill has its second
reading in parliament. Hardtalk speaks to Labour peer and former
Attorney-General Lord Falconer, who has introduced the bill, and
asks how he defends the right to die in the face of staunch
opposition from the medical establishment, politicians and
religious leaders?
