About this Event

Re Think: Right to Die?

Re:Think: Right To Die? Explores the debate around assisted suicide and euthanasia. The case for assisted suicide seems compelling — surely it cannot be wrong to help desperate people in terrible circumstances to K*ll themselves?

There are practical and compassionate alternatives to assisted suicide and, as many who have gone before us have found, the end of our lives on this earth may turn out to be a strange and wonderful opportunity for growth and healing.
