In this podcast, I'll be discussing the controversial issues surrounding euthanasia and assisted suicide, asking whether medical professionals have the right, or even the responsibility to partake in either.

Irrespective of the legal ramifications, the question remains: would 'killing someone' in this context be a breach of one's Hippocratic Oath?
