Terminally ill and suicidal

I've just finished listening to a fascinating program on the radio: 'Inside the Ethics Committee', entitled Terminally Ill and Suicidal

Phil and I have been wanting to create some work on the emotive subject of death, dying and Palliative care with older people, for the PATIENCE project, so it was a timely and very informative program.

In it Joan Bakewell discusses the real-life case of Mary, a terminally-ill woman in her 80s. She has considered her condition and has decided that she wants to die.

If you missed it and want to listen again, or find out more about the subject matter, you can by following this link http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00lvgwj
