In this episode, Ben Gibson sit's down with John Hammond, a seasoned lawyer whose early experiences working as an orderly in the Home of Peace profoundly influenced his advocacy for end-of-life rights throughout his career. John shares poignant stories, including that of his friend Carol, who chose Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD) in March 2024. We delve into the legal aspects of estate planning and discuss the importance of having a will in place. Join us as we explore the complex intersection of law and compassion in end-of-life decision-making.
