About this listen

Voluntary assisted dying is legal across Australia, much of Europe, Canada, and several US states, with dramatically varying implementations.

Some countries permit advance directives for dementia cases, and AI is being developed to replace psychiatrist in the assisted dying process.

While some jurisdictions focus on terminal illness with strict safeguards, others expand access to mental illness.

In this episode of The Discussion, host Bill Crews examines these complex ethical, medical, and legal issues with Dr. Philip Nitschke, a prominent advocate who offers insights into global approaches and lessons from this evolution in human autonomy.
