This season we will also dive into the emergence of new research that has revealed the basic effects of how anesthetic drugs work in the first place.

Two friends try to answer that question. For one it’s theoretical, and for the other it’s all too real.

In this podcast, we follow Phil’s journey living with an incurable and life-ending illness, and unpack some of the key debates around assisted dying – with some help from experts and campaigners.

Phil always wanted the chance to have this discussion in UK courts. He never got that chance, but this is his story.
