In this podcast episode, two key topics are explored. First, the conversation delves into the ongoing debate over a proposed assisted dying bill in England and Wales, drawing comparisons to similar laws in countries like Canada, Australia, and certain states in the US. While concerns about a "slippery slope" and potential coercion are raised, the discussion also presents evidence that, with proper safeguards, assisted dying can be implemented safely and effectively. The second topic shifts focus to the implications of a potential second Trump presidency for the US Supreme Court, examining the likelihood of new conservative justices being appointed and the possible repercussions for various legal and social issues.
