What does it mean to live autonomously? And how can that autonomous life be supported when we reach the end of life?  

Professor Ben Colburn is a political philosopher at the University of Glasgow and patron of the charity, and he joins Cia for a thought-provoking conversation about autonomy and end of life care.  

Prof. Colburn talks Cia through the different factors which can threaten autonomy at end of life, as well as the ways autonomy can be supported. From educating and collaborating with carers, to working with legislators and supporting the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill; Prof Colburn shares the work he and colleagues are doing to help ensure those nearing end of life can continue to make choices that uphold their values.
