Misinformation, fear and pain: when Andrew Denton was asked to speak on the topic of euthanasia, he found something that he couldn’t look away from.What started as a single lecture became the biggest political fight of his life.And the last year has seen the fruit of those labours, with every state now having laws to allow people the right to choose to end their life when faced with terminal illness. The territories are well on their way to doing the same.Go Gentle Australia, the organisation he founded, helped change the tide of a debate around death that had been paralysed in Australia for decades.Today, Andrew Denton, on the campaign that changed how Australians will experience the end of their lives and the way it’s changing the care we receive at the end.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
