Novelist and former paediatric nurse Christie Watson asks whether there are some things worse than death.

She describes the extraordinary medical breakthroughs which allow children to be kept alive today who previously would have died.

But she asks whether community care and medical ethics have kept up with the increasing number of technology-dependent children, that is, children who cannot breathe without life support machines.

Four Thought is a series of talks which combine thought provoking ideas and engaging storytelling.

Recorded in front of an audience at the RSA in London, speakers take to the stage to air their latest thinking on the trends, ideas, interests and passions that affect our culture and society.
