Correspondent
Do you agree that euthanasia is still an important issue today?
(speech not heard)
interviewee

I think it is a big issue, but I do think it is more debated in places like America
and Canada rather than in the U.K
CORESPONDANT
Major disability rights groups in Britain have resisted any change in the law, how
does this make you feel?

INTERVIEWEE
Well if you have no consent over your own death it isn't really your own body,
maybe they think it could lead to discrimination.

ext. college car park- day
correspondent
In the medical profession it is all about making people better and keep them
alive, so what about being face with people who want to die?
interviewee
requests for euthanasia are extremely rare if people are properly cared for.
Our priority must be to make good care killing pain without killing the patient.
CORESPONDANT
what factors do you think assisted death would be acceptable?
INTERVIEWEE
People who are terminally ill or in extreme pain should have the right to die, we
don't let animals suffer so why humans? But I think safeguards need to be in
place that the person does not feel pressured into it or done without their
knowledge and consent.
