“Do No Harm” is a short documentary which highlights some of the grave concerns around the proposed legislation to legalise assisted dying in the Westminster parliament in the United Kingdom. It gathers together experts from the medical and palliative care profession, alongside prominent politicians, ethics experts and religious leaders, to construct a unified voice of unease. The documentary spotlights key concerns around preserving human dignity and protections for vulnerable groups. It challenges the robustness of tabled safeguards in the UK legislation, by citing the experience of other jurisdictions which quickly eased access and extended provision to self-inflicted death. Is this a moment where humanity crosses a Rubicon and changes the very idea of healthcare, compassion and care?
