Dr Sarah Foot: Why palliative care is the alternative to assisted dying

This week Tim Farron is joined by Dr Sarah Foot, a palliative medicine registrar from East Anglia. They’ll, of course, be discussing the Assisted Dying Bill, with details set to be debated in Parliament on Friday. Current trackers show that at least 135 MPs plan to vote in favour of the bill, 85 are against it, 121 are undecided, and 23 are expected to abstain. Dr Foot shares her faith journey, how it shapes her work, and why she believes Christians shouldn’t stay silent on this issue. Tim also reflects further on why he’s opposing the bill.
