<p><b>Two expert thinkers tackle one of the most difficult and divisive issues of our times: assisted dying</b></p><p><b>'Absolutely fantastic. It gives you a deep sense of the morality, the legality, the technicality. Invaluable' </b>XAND VAN TULLEKEN<br><b>'Nuanced and thoughtful'</b> <i>OBSERVER</i></p><p>As pressure grows to legalise assisted dying in the UK, this book illuminates the legal and ethical fault lines at the heart of the debate. Lady Hale, former president of the Supreme Court, argues that everyone should have the freedom to decide the time and manner of their own death. Drawing on real cases in real courts, she explores how the law might establish e­ffective safeguards while preserving an individual's right to decide for themselves when their suffering becomes unbearable.</p><p>Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury, sits in opposition, contending that no such right can ever be absolute, or unqualified. He raises moral and practical concerns about the protection of vulnerable communities - especially those living with disabilities - the pressures facing an already overstretched NHS and the risk that assisted dying could become a substitute for properly funded palliative care.</p><p>Both confront the decisions we all must face: who should be eligible for assisted dying; how should the programme be authorised; and what modern medicine could, and should, provide. Ultimately, they turn to a deeper challenge: how a public healthcare system can universally uphold dignity, and what it would truly mean to offer us all what we profoundly deserve - a good death.</p><p><b>Published in conjunction with Intelligence Squared, the world's leading curator of debate, this book is part of the <i>Think Again</i> series: short books that present two contrasting but equally persuasive views in a single volume</b></p>
