In special documentary<\/a>\u00a0Prue & Danny\u2019s Death Road Trip, Prue Leith and her son Danny Kruger MP will explore the topic of assisted dying, something they both disagree on.<\/p>\n Bake Off host Prue Leith supports assisted dying, but her son Danny is against it. Can a trip to North America, where assisted dying is legal, resolve their differences?<\/p>\n In an exclusive clip to RadioTimes.com<\/a>, we get our first look at the poignant documentary which airs tomorrow night (Thursday 16th February) on Channel 4.<\/p> The clip opens with Prue narrating: \u201cIn the US, if you have less than six months to live, doctors can prescribe the lethal drugs, which you then take yourself, without needing the medic to be there. This self-administered method is what I\u2019ve been campaigning for in the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n She hears of a particularly emotional story from a woman whose parents took part in the self-administered method. The woman tells Prue: \u201cEach capsule had to be dropped into the mug with water and stirred.\u201d<\/p>\n Interwoven with her explanation are also clips of her parents as they receive a final blessing from their pastor who tells them: \u201cJust know you\u2019re on your own journeys now but you\u2019re going to meet up over there.\u201d<\/p>\n The elderly mother says: \u201cEven those journeys, we get to go together.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The woman talking to Prue and Danny continues: \u201cWhen it was time and they had set 10 o\u2019clock to drink their medicine, we went into the bedroom and we just sat in silence and love, and just held this space for them as they drifted to sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n She adds: \u201cMy mum passed in 15 minutes and my dad passed about 45 minutes later.\u201d Prue asks: \u201cBut they both went to sleep within the space of a few minutes?\u201d<\/p>\n The woman nods yes and says they \u201cdied holding hands\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s a wonderful story,\u201d Prue says finally.<\/p>\n Watch the clip below.<\/p>
