Declarations: The Human Rights Podcast

Is there a right to die, and if so, who has this right? A few countries, such as Switzerland, have legalized forms of assisted dying, but others, like the UK, have banned such practices. With the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the US Supreme Court, this topic has also sprung up again in America, as the only book Gorsuch has published makes an argument against assisted dying. This week's guest is Stevie Martin, a PhD student in Cambridge's Law faculty, who is researching whether the UK's ban on assisted dying conflicts with the European Convention on Human Rights.
