'Burning Issue' public lecture
It is legal in the UK for a doctor to give terminally ill patients potentially life-shortening doses of drugs like morphine in order to relieve their pain, but to do so with the intention of hastening death could lead to a charge of murder. Emily Jackson examines the issues, the contradictions and the confusion around assisted suicide and how a growing belief in the importance of self-determination is likely to affect the way in which many of us view the end of our lives.
Emily Jackson is a professor of law at LSE and deputy chair of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority.
Come and be part of a studio audience for this new and interactive lecture series. The lectures include audience debate and are being filmed on 12 and 13 May for television . The full list of Burning Issue lectures is available to view. Free food and drink will be provided in the interval between lectures.

LSE students and staff are able to collect one ticket from the New Academic Building SU shop, located on the Kingsway side of the building from 10.00am on Tuesday 3 May. Members of the public, LSE staff and alumni can request one ticket via the online ticket request form which will be live on the event weblisting after 10.00am on Tuesday 3 May. The ticket request form will be online for around an hour from going live. If after an hour we have received more requests than there are tickets available, the line will be closed, and tickets will be allocated on a random basis to those requests received. If after an hour we have received fewer requests than tickets available, the ticket line will stay open until all tickets have been allocated. Due to changes on the LSE website we can no longer control exactly when a page will update, so it may take a few minutes to appear. You may need to refresh your browser in order to view this link.
