We watched an episode of Panorama, entitled "I helped my daughter to die", which focussed upon the story of Kay Gilderdale and how she assissted in the suicide of her daughter, Lynn. The story raised important points about the legalisation of euthenasia, including the case regarding Debbie Purdy and her wanting clarification on the law regarding euthenasia, as she wanted to be sure her husband would not be prosecuted. Barroness Campbell also figured, as she has been prominent throughout a number of euthenasia cases.
Having studied the law on euthenasia during a-level law I already knew of Debbie Purdy and Barroness Campbell, so had a decent understanding of what was going on, and the ramifications for assissting suicide.
We were given the task of writing a radio times billing for the episode -
Jeremy Vine follows Kay Gilderdale on her journey as she faces a charge for the attempted murder of her daughter, Lynn. With input from Debbie Purdy and Baroness Campbell.
