Why are people being refused an assisted death?

The Front Page - A podcast by NZ Herald

When euthanasia legislation was passed, critics worried that it could result in a slippery slope of people choosing die.  But report suggests that this hasn’t been the case at all – and that New Zealand’s laws might, in fact, be too restrictive.  So is New Zealand’s euthanasia law working as it was intended? Or do we need to broaden it further to give more people access to the procedure? To help answer these complex questions, Damien is joined by NZ Herald social issues reporter Isaac Davison.
