Hello, I am writing to let you know about an exciting new addition to the Dignity in Dying website, which may be of interest to you and your supporters.
You can now view four filmed interviews on our website, hearing experts talking about why we need a change in the law on assisted dying. A new page of our website, ‘Medical opinion’: http://www.dignityindying.org.uk/information/index.asp?id=223,
features interviews with Professor Raymond Tallis and Dr John Stephen. Professor Tallis is an eminent geriatrician, philosopher and poet, and a former Chair of the Royal College of Physicians Ethics Committee. In a two-part interview he explains why he changed his mind on assisted dying, and why he now thinks there should be a change in the law. In his interview, Dr John Stephen, a retired GP, talks about society’s attitudes to dying, and the concept of a good death.
An interview with Ashley Riley, the new Head of Campaigns and Communications at Dignity in Dying is available on the ‘About us’ page of our website: http://www.dignityindying.org.uk/aboutus/.
Ashley talks about Dignity in Dying’s campaigning work. The films are also available to view on the YouTube website.
There are links to the films on youtube under each film box on our website, or you can view them directly via these links:
