Let's Talk MND - Andrew Denton & Jane Morris

from Let's Talk MND · host Jane Simpson

 Andrew Denton is an Australian Gold Logie nominated television presenter and former radio host amongst the many, many, things that Andrew has done. He was the host of the ABC's brilliant interview program and my favorite show ever, Enough Rope. Andrew founded Go Gentle Australia in 2016. Go Gentle is a charity which promotes end of life choices. including the option of voluntary assisted dying. Go Gentle is instrumental in passing voluntary assisted dying laws in all six states.   Jane Morris is the president of Dying with Dignity Victoria. She started her career as a nurse and then as a mature age student, completed a master's of bioethics and studied the topic of VAD with avid interest. Jane is a member of our community. Her mother died of MND 10 years ago. Jane's mother's death was a catalyst that spurred her into action to take on the role of a staunch, vocal and active advocate for Victorian VAD legislation.  I understand that today may be very difficult to listen to, but I think it's really important that we are as educated as possible and are aware of the choices that we have for our own life.
