From the point of view of the law, Ms Victoria Butler-Cole explores the grey area of differentiating 'the right to die' from 'the right to refuse medication'. Ms Butler-Cole uses a series of court case studies to define what is and isn't legal, and to predict how the court might evolve in the future.
This lecture was filmed at the RSM in London for the 'Choice at the end of life: Current practice and overseas developments' event on the 9th February 2018.
