Dr. Calum Miller, NHS doctor and bioethics researcher, joins James Bogle, a barrister and legal expert in end-of-life cases, to discuss two of the most divisive issues in modern politics: assisted suicide and abortion.
Drawing on decades of experience in medicine and law, they reveal how Britain's latest legislation undermines the Hippocratic Oath, endangers vulnerable patients, and reflects a deeper erosion of our moral and legal foundations. We explore the NHS pressures behind these changes, disturbing real-world examples from Canada and Europe, and why public debate on life and death is being shut down.
