Description
In this episode, Niall examines the controversial topic of euthanasia, asking, Is it a slippery slope, or do people have the right to die? Following the UK Parliament's recent vote to legalize euthanasia through the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, the discussion turns to whether Ireland should consider similar legislation.
Some callers support legalizing euthanasia, arguing that it allows people to die with dignity and make choices about their own lives, especially when facing unbearable pain from terminal illnesses. For these callers, it’s a matter of compassion and respecting individual autonomy.
Others, however, view euthanasia as a dangerous slippery slope. They worry about the potential for abuse and vulnerable individuals being pressured into ending their lives. For these callers, life is sacred, and the state should focus on improving palliative care rather than legalizing assisted death.
Niall wraps up by weighing the ethical, medical, and societal implications, highlighting the deeply personal and divisive nature of the debate.
