Counterblast: Journey to Death

on BBC Two England

Concluding the series in which speakers expound their views on a matter of personal interest.

Although many people in Britain support the idea of voluntary euthanasia, Professor Ilora Finlay, a hospice medical director, believes that this is a "policy of despair".
She argues that the fear of death and ignorance about this subject convince people that euthanasia is the only option, but that patients' distress can be at least partially alleviated by addressing their fears.
