THE BARDCAST - Sarah de Nordwall - 31. Sarco or Sanctity
These final 2 episodes of the Bardcast miniseries on Assisted dying stand together to share inspiring and touching monologues from Stephen Callaghan’s beautiful play Pure dead Dangerous. (Julie’s mum in this episode and The Priest in the 2nd episode.)
We look at the dark comedy of the astonishing rhetoric around the Sarco (the suicide pod) that refers to it as ‘reliable and safe.’
We ask whose values and choices are really respected when autonomy becomes the highest value in society and consider what values and ideas really help us.
We encourage everyone to send episodes of this mini-series…
