We have had the good fortune to be introduced to Andrew Denton’s discussion on who should control how we die – politicians or us?

In this video posted by Go Gentle Australia, nurse Anne Maxwell offers a frank insight into what it is like to care for patients at the end of their lives – and why she believes we need an assisted dying law in Australia.

It’s a difficult issue to talk about – which is exactly why we should talk about it.

This video is a good place to start – watch it here.
