My Life and My Choice? Exploring the Assisted Dying Debate

This lecture is led by the Revd Canon Professor James Woodward and hosted by The Severn Forum.

It will offer an overview of some of the issues and questions for society, healthcare and Christian theology that are posed by the question of choice at the end of life. It will draw on some of the experiences of the Commission on Assisted Dying in 2010- 2011 and subsequent on-going public engagement with so many narratives of the right to die.

Canon Professor James Woodward is the Principal of Sarum College and is a practical theologian who specialises in health and healing, Christian ethics, old age, theological reflection and end of life care. He has worked in a variety of settings in ministry including health care chaplaincy, parishes and theological education.

This lecture is sponsored by The Montgomery Trust.
