Spain is set to legalise euthanasia – should Ireland follow suit?

Spain's parliament are set to give final approval to a law that will legalise euthanasia - making them the fourth country in Europe to dicriminalise assisted suicide. The legislation will take place in June and will allow anyone with "serious or incurable illness" or a condition which is "chronic or incapacitating" to request help dying, as a means to avoid "intolerable suffering". Should Ireland follow suit? Andrea spoke to Tom Curran who is an Assisted Suicide Advocate and Kathleen Rogers who has motor neuron disease.
