⚠️ Trigger warning: This episode discusses terminal illness and end-of-life choices. If you're not in the right headspace, please take care before listening.In this deeply personal and thought-provoking episode, I sit down with Necole, the niece of Kay Henderson, whose story has captured national attention. Kay recently made the decision to end her life through Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD), a choice that became legal in New South Wales in 2023.Necole shares Kay's journey—her lifelong battle with Marfan syndrome, the immense pain she endured, and the thoughtful, love-filled way she chose to say goodbye. We discuss the process of VAD, the misconceptions surrounding it, and the overwhelming public response to Kay's decision, including her viral TikTok videos documenting her final days.This episode is about choice, dignity, and love. No matter where you stand on this topic, I encourage you to listen with an open heart. And if you'd like to honour Kay, wear something purple on March 3rd—her birthday—and maybe enjoy a cheesy garlic bread in her memory.

While VAD laws were introduced into Victoria in 2017 a so called 'gag clause' has prevented doctors from initiating conversation with their patients about the option of voluntary assisted dying, essentially the doctors could only discuss with their patient if the patient specifically asked them about it. This law however is now set to be lifted and Melbourne GP Dr Nick Carr joined Richelle Hunt to discuss the significance of this change. Also in this edition of the Conversation Hour we talk what the price of a haircut can tell us about the economy and discuss actor Pamela Anderson's road to becoming an icon.

They discuss the October 2024 international Right To Die Societies conference in Dublin, November's Australia New Zealand VAD conference in Brisbane and the recent vote in the UK in favour of VAD by a traditionally conservative Westminster Parliament. It also covers the 50th Birthday of Dying With Dignity NSW and their first year of the legislation's operation, the five year VAD review in Victoria, and the renewed push to restore VAD rights in the Northern Territory. VAD is restricted worldwide to terminally ill people who have a medically certified diagnosis of imminent death.

With a backbone of General Practice that she can always return to, it has been easy for her to explore work as a breast physician as well as in voluntary-assisted dying.

Palliative care is a holistic approach to supporting individuals with life-limiting illnesses – meaning an illness that's active, progressive, or advanced, with little or no prospect of cure.With the support of healthcare professionals – including doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals, palliative care aims to alleviate symptoms, enhance quality of life, and provide emotional, social, and spiritual support to both patients and their families. Palliative care can begin at diagnosis, offering support throughout the illness journey, and can even potentially prolong life.Palliative care is about empowering people to live their lives as fully and comfortably as possible, even in the face of terminal illness.For help with navigating palliative care and bereavement support in South Australia, Palliative Care Connect provides information and links for people with life-limiting illnesses and their family, friends, and carers, as well as health and aged care professionals. Palliative Care Navigators and Bereavement Navigators are available by phone to support South Australians with life-limiting illnesses and their family members, friends, and carers, as well as healthcare professionals.To learn more, visit Palliative Care Connect or call the dedicated Palliative Care Connect Statewide Navigation Service on 1800 725 548 (PALLI8), available Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 4pm.In this segment, we hear from Dr. Peter Allcroft, a Senior Staff Specialist at Southern Adelaide Palliative Services and is a highly respected physician who has dedicated his career to improving the lives of patients with life-limiting illnesses.

As the state of New South Wales, Australia prepares to introduce voluntary assisted dying later this month, Mim and Lis frame the conversation by highlighting how this emerging field of practice adds depth to the already established wider skillset of social work. The heart of the episode unfolds with a poignant story from a social worker who guided an elderly man and his family through the voluntary assisted dying process. The narrative emphasises the importance of compassion, autonomy, and family involvement in end-of-life decisions. Lis and Mim reflect on the ethical considerations and social work principles involved, stressing the need for preparatory supervision, paired with ongoing critical reflection. The episode concludes with insights into creating safe spaces for end-of-life care conversations and the value of in-person and virtual communities for support.

The English courts have wrestled with challenges to the restrictions on euthanasia and assisted suicide for years, while the government has resisted calls to liberalise the law. Meanwhile, terminally ill people continue to travel overseas to clinics such as Dignitas, to end their lives. Assisted dying raises fundamental questions about respect for individual autonomy, protection of the vulnerable and the role the State should play.This lecture will explain the law and explore arguments for and against liberalisation.A lecture by Professor Imogen GooldThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/voluntary-dyingGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.
