Alice Snedden's Bad News

Euthanasia (2020x6)

Fecha de emisión: Ago 26, 2020

In October, Aotearoa will vote on whether or not to legalise voluntary euthanasia for those with a terminal illness who have less than six months to live. Undecided on how she is going to vote herself, Alice decides to host a dinner party like no other. Inviting a broad range of guests with varied perspectives on the euthanasia bill, she attempts to make up her own mind about the contentious and extremely sensitive issue over a lovely roast meal. Guests include ‘no’ voters like disability advocate Claire Freeman (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Korokoro) and her own mother Jo. On the ‘yes’ side is Canterbury University lecturer Te Hurinui Karaka Clarke (Te Arawa, Ngai Tahu), terminally ill advocate Bobbie Carroll and, of course, ACT MP David Seymour (Ngāti Porou).​
