Assisted dying: Doctors with opposing views challenge each other

Sky’s Health Correspondent Ashish Joshi discusses the assisted dying debate with two doctors who have deeply contrasting views on the issue.

Dr Mark Lee is a consultant in palliative care, and Dr Jacky Davis is a consultant radiologist and campaigner for assisted dying legislation in this country.

The two doctors did agree on one thing though – that every patient is entitled to a pain free and dignified death.

Anyone feeling emotionally distressed or suicidal can call Samaritans for help on 116 123 or email jo@samaritans.org in the UK. In the US, call the Samaritans branch in your area or 1 (800) 273-TALK.
