A lecture led by David Carpenter. The Assisted Dying Bill, a private member's bill, was published on 11 November 2024. MPs have been afforded the opportunity for a free vote following debate and discussion in the immediate future. Assisted dying embraces a very wide range of issues from deliberate euthanasia to the provision of drugs aimed at facilitating suicide. David will explore this complex territory from a philosophical perspective, focusing on the current bill and its content.
Key issues will include:
Autonomy and choice
'Slippery slopes'
Coercion
Rudimentary medical ethics
Jurisprudential matters
David is a well known member of the Cathedral congregation; he is a moral and political philosopher with a long career in the practical application of ethics, providing training for doctors and health care professionals for many years.
