One of a series of Nine to Noon interviews by National Radio's Linda Clark conducted in December 2004 with people who were prominent in the news during the year.
This interview is with euthanasia campaigner Lesley Martin, who was released from prison just a week earlier after serving a sentence of several months for attempting to kill her mother.
Despite her conviction, she continues to campaign for legislation to make euthanasia legal.
She talks about her time in prison, life now and the campaign.
