Gresham College Lecture: The Sanctity of Life Law Has Gone too Far

Dr Raanan Gillon deals with the difficult topic of euthanasia and the 'sanctity of life'. The professor of medical ethics debates the arguments for keeping an incurable, 'minimally conscious' patient alive when the family insist it would be against the patinet's will. As well as raising moral dilemmas, this also raises questions about wasting hospital funds – all of which Gillon will tackle this afternoon.
