The architect of the assisted dying bill Kim Leadbeater joins the podcast as MPs prepare for a crucial vote on the era-defining legislation.
She explains to Paul Brand why she is "positive and optimistic" a majority will support the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill in Friday’s defining vote.
And while Health Correspondent Rebecca Barry outlines the concerns from sections of the medical community – and the many unknowns that remain on how assisted dying will be implemented – Kim argues why MPs are ruling on "the most robust assisted dying bill in the world".
