Assisted Death and Women
by The Other Half
July 3, 2025 5:35 pm
Women are dying under assisted dying laws at rates that should alarm us all—but few people are paying attention. Assisted, hosted by Chelsea Roff and Fiona Mackenzie, dives into the data and stories behind it, asking why these laws disproportionately impact women and what it says about society’s view of illness, disability, and care. Through conversations with researchers, policymakers, and families navigating the fallout, Assisted explores the vulnerabilities these laws expose—and what that means for all of us.
