The assisted dying bill has divided Britain along new philosophical, religious and ethical lines. On one side, deep concern over the misuses of “medically assisted dying” in countries such as Canada. On the other, persuasive stories of compassion and personal choice in the face of suffering. Coming together to discuss the existential problem of euthanasia are four of Britain’s most erudite thinkers on the subject: philosopher Kathleen Stock, journalist Sonia Sodha, Rabbi Jonathan Romain and journalist David Aaronovitch. Join UnHerd for what promises to be a passionate and challenging debate.

His new book, The Information State, charts how the technological infrastructure built to make society safer and more rational has steadily replaced democratic freedoms with systems of digital control. Join him and Freddie Sayers for an on-stage conversation, book signing and audience Q&A.

J. G. Ballard possessed one of the most astonishing imaginations of our age. His turbulent personal history, including internment in a Japanese prison camp as a teenager during the Second World War, led him to write some of the most esoteric fiction that has ever been published. Whether in the hyper-surrealism of High Rise or the erotic violence of Crash, Ballard upended the morality and reality of our world. Join Nina Allan, science fiction writer and co-author of the new Ballard biography, The Illuminated Man, for an introduction to his life and work, plus a book signing and audience Q&A.
