Podcasts about Assisted suicide

A Canadian combat veteran, Kelsi Sheren, joins Allie to expose how Canada's taxpayer-funded Medical Assistance in Dying program is targeting the most vulnerable: veterans, the disabled, the mentally ill, the poor, children, and even babies. Kelsi shares shocking firsthand stories of veterans being offered death instead of care, explains how MAID quietly expanded from terminal illness to non‑terminal conditions, and details the financial incentives driving doctors, institutions, and advocacy groups she calls a “death cult.” They also connect the dots to the United States — naming the states where assisted suicide is already legal, the role of groups like Compassion & Choices, and how churches and religious leaders are being pressured to accept euthanasia as “compassion."

It's Thursday, March 19th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Chine Communists continue to harass the church China's National People's Congress passed the innocuously named “Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress” last week.  The new law requires the enforcement of a strong sense of Chinese identity across society. This would continue China's suppression of religious and ethnic minorities. It would also affect social organizations and churches.  International Christian Concern noted, “Christian home churches are an attempt to escape government scrutiny, but even they are often raided and their members arrested on charges of working against the interests of the state.” China is ranked 17th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most oppressive countries to be a Christian.  Trump postpones trip to meet with Chinese President China will have to reschedule a meeting with the United States as the war in Iran continues. U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday he will postpone his trip to Beijing. The trip was scheduled for the end of the month. President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping plan to discuss trade tariffs. The trade war between the two countries has been on pause since last October.  Commenting on the postponement, President Trump said, “Because of the [Iran] war, I want to be here. I have to be here.” Israel killed Iran's top security official on Monday Israel killed Iran's top security official, Ali Larijani, in a strike on Monday. Larijani was likely running the country since U.S. and Israeli strikes killed Iran's supreme leader last month. The recent war has lasted nearly three weeks so far. President Trump told reporters yesterday that America's involvement in the war may be ending soon.  Listen. TRUMP: “We're not ready to leave yet, but we'll be leaving in the near future. We'll be leaving in pretty much the very near future. But, right now, they've been decimated from every standpoint. We've had great support from countries in the Middle East. Great support. But we've had essentially no support from NATO.” Paul Ehrlich, father of population control, died Paul Ehrlich, known as the father of population control, died last Friday at the age of 93. The biology professor and population scientist wrote the 1968 book, The Population Bomb. Ehrlich falsely claimed population growth would cause widespread starvation. He promoted the murder of unborn babies and mass sterilization to stem the alleged tide of overpopulation.  His work inspired governments and organizations to push contraception, abortion, and sterilization on the world.  Hebrews 9:27 says, “It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment.” Scotland Parliament votes against legalized assisted suicide Scotland's Parliament voted Tuesday against a bill to legalize assisted suicide. The vote ends two years of national debate on the issue. Alisdair Hungerford-Morgan, Chief Executive of Right To Life UK, said, “This is a great victory for the most vulnerable in our society. They deserve protection and care, not a pathway to suicide. If this legislation had passed, countless vulnerable people would have been pressured or coerced into ending their lives.”  Moody Bible victorious in religious liberty case In the United States, a Christian college won its religious freedom case against the Chicago Board of Education. Previously, the city's public schools blocked The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago from participating in its student-teaching program. The college could only participate if it compromised its Christian hiring practices. The public schools backed down after the lawsuit.  Jeremiah Galus with Alliance Defending Freedom commented, “We're hopeful other public officials will take note that they can't inject themselves illegally and unconstitutionally into a religious non-profit's hiring practices.” YouVersion: No AI chatbots to answer theological questions And finally, a leading digital Bible platform is not implementing artificial intelligence chatbots for answering theological questions. The YouVersion Bible platform has over one billion downloads around the world.  YouVersion CEO Bobby Gruenewald told Christian Daily International that AI models are inaccurate. He said, “The best model with the best performance, with the most popular versions of the Bible that are most indexed, misquotes Scripture at least 15% of the time. Some of them as much as 60% of the time.” Unlike chatbots, God's Word is always accurate. Psalm 12:6 says, “The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver tried in a furnace of Earth, purified seven times.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, March 19th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

“Why oppose assisted suicide?” This question opens a discussion on the complexities of suffering and the value of life, touching on personal experiences of trauma and the lack of resources for healing. The conversation also addresses the role of legislation in protecting the unborn and the implications for fathers in abortion decisions, highlighting the multifaceted nature of these ethical issues. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 12:54 – Why would we be against wanting to end their own life if they are suffering? 21:00 – I was abused growing up and considered assisted suicide and didn't have the resources necessary to deal with the trauma. 32:22 – Is legislation the most grace filled way to protect the unborn? 41:18 – What is the Church's stance on passing legislation that would punish abortion providers and people who procure abortions; should they be punished as murderers? 48:32 – What about Father's who are completely left out of the decision if the child is aborted or not?

Canada's physician-assisted suicide program — called MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) — is growing, and that's a huge problem.In this episode of the Pro-Life Podcast, we talk about awful trends happening in Canada:• 1 in 20 deaths in the country now come from assisted suicide• The original 90-day waiting period has shrunk to as little as same-day death• Some researchers are now proposing euthanasia for newborn babies• A heartbreaking case where a woman changed her mind about assisted suicide — but doctors ended her life anywayPrograms that begin with “limited safeguards” often expand far beyond what was originally promised.But we also close the episode with some good news from Texas, where Pro-Life voters recently saw major election victories and important races heading into runoff elections.This episode highlights why defending every human life matters so much.If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide, please seek help. You are loved, and your life has immeasurable value.

Wesley J. Smith of the Discovery Institute Wesley Smith’s National Review Columns Culture of Death: The Age of “Do Harm” Medicine Forced Exit: Euthanasia, Assisted Suicide and the New Duty to DieThe post “Psychiatric Euthanasia” in the Netherlands – Wesley Smith, 3/9/26 (0681) first appeared on Issues, Etc..

With the 150th anniversary of Pope Pius' birthday, author Mark Riebling takes us into the role that the Pope played in not just ending the war, but to "eliminate Nazism by removing Hitler." With NY recently signing assisted suicide into law, Charles Camosy joins offering his Catholic plan for "resisting physician-assisted killing." Msgr. Roger Landry joins from his Nigerian missions trip giving us a glimpse into how the Iran war is affecting Catholics there. And we also take on the viral social media post from a 'pro-natalist' that says having 9 kids while running a business is "irresponsible." Catch the show every Saturday at 7amET/5pmET on EWTN radio!

THOU SHALT NOT KILL! Those were the words of the GREAT I AM, Jehovah, the words given by the Creator of the universe, of all things, to Moses. Not killing was a commandment, not a suggestion, one of the ten, but perhaps the most important one. Those Holy, Divine words, once again, were: YOU AND I SHALL NOT KILL! But now, in this woke, radically liberal, transgender society of ours, comes the so-called mercy killing, the ending of life in the form of: ASSISTED SUICIDE. Call it what you will, but in reality, it is indeed KILLING. Twelve states and the District of Columbia allow this so-called mercy killing, this euthanasia, this ASSISTED SUICIDE. More states are considering similar laws, as well. Such laws permit physician/assisted suicide, which euphemistically is referred to as: MAID: MEDICAL AID IN DYING. When certain conditions are met, and a person presumably rational and able to make decisions wants to die, and at least two physicians so agree, a prescription can be issued for a lethal, death-inducing poisonous substance which would then be injected into the body of the person wishing to die, and shortly thereafter, death occurs. That death, presumably, is sanctioned by the family, loved ones, spouse, or other of such a person, and the state sanctions, allows it, and in some cases even encourages it. Most of the states have what is called “the value of the six month left to live rule.” Physicians must certify that there is no cure for the illness and that within six months or less, the individual will die. For that individual, they say, there will be little but pain, suffering, loss of life, and complete bodily deterioration. There is supposedly a five day waiting period between the lethal prescription and the death of the individual by injection. In that period, that person can supposedly change his/her mind and the killing procedure will be aborted. The person would then agree that the inevitably progressive condition which can not be reversed by any known treatment will be the way in which death occurs, and not by the lethal prescription. Those individuals and organizations which endorse assisted suicide think of the cost of the care of the individual during that supposed death-happening six months, and, they say, society is better off financially and otherwise if the suicide occurs. That, to me, is totally unacceptable, even barbaric, and I for one could never authorize or participate in the assisted suicide, the death of a family member or loved one. Could you? Governor Kathy Hochul of the once-great-state of New York says of the assisted suicide bill she signed: “THIS BILL IS ABOUT FREEDOM, AUTONOMY, AND COMPASSION.” Freedom to die? The autonomy to make the decision to die? And all of that is compassion? Not for me. What about you? The reality is that assisted suicide treats human life as negotiable when pain or physical decline begin and take over a human life. The cry for help, which we hear so often in the elderly and disabled, is then redefined as a right to die. But medical science has never been better, developing cures, new medicines, new abilities to treat once untreatable illnesses, sometimes even overnight. There is now, in this day in age, always the possibility of treatment, the alleviation of pain, and even CURE. All such possibilities mitigate against MERCY KILLING. Many believe the elderly, disabled, those suffering from some form of dementia, those in pain, and those easily led and misled by family and physicians can not make any rational decisions, much less the decision to die. Such individuals should not be allowed, legally allowed, by the states and by our courts to make decisions to die! THOU SHALT NOT KILL! My own mother suffered a horrible death from a cancer which could not be treated 40 years ago. Her pain was agonizing. In spite of that, she fought to live every minute of every day, believing it was worthwhile for her to do so. The thought of mercy killing or assisted suicide for our mother was never even discussed as a possibility by our family. Have you had such an experience in your family? Would you have accepted the mercy killing of your loved one, would you? You matter. I matter. Every one of us matters to someone, a few or many. Even more importantly, YOU, all of us, matter to our GOD who created us. He told us this very day was the day He created for us, and we should be glad and rejoice therein, and not think about assisted suicide or killing ourself. That somehow, we in pain and perhaps terminally ill, had purpose for living that day. We were surrounded by friends and loved ones, by caregivers who in fact cared, and the Christ of Glory was our portion that day. That was more than enough to be glad and rejoice, even if such rejoicing could not be verbalized. THOU SHALT NOT KILL! There are now wonderful painkillers available. Cures for almost every kind of disease are at work or on the horizon. There is hope to cure or extend life. There are less reasons than ever to choose death over life. I, for one, believe that assisted suicide, euthanasia, so-called mercy killing, is anything but merciful, and in fact, morally and Biblically DEAD WRONG! And, what about you, my fellow American, and Christian, brother and sister, do you believe in mercy killing? Would you authorize and participate in the death of a terminally ill loved one, would you?

In 1994, Oregon voters passed the Death with Dignity Act, which legalized physician-assisted suicide for the terminally ill. Since then, it has become legal in 4 more states, including New Mexico, where the state court ruling that it is constitutional is under appeal. Is it, in the words of the American Medical Association's code of ethics, "fundamentally incompatible with the physician's role as healer"? Will these laws lead to a slippery slope, where the vulnerable are pressured to choose death and human life is devalued? Or do we need to recognize everyone's basic right to autonomy, the right to end pain and suffering, and the right to choose to die with dignity?

Is assisted suicide compassionate—or is it a cultural failure to respond humanely to suffering?In this episode of Brave New Us, host Samantha Stephenson speaks with author and bioethics speaker Stephanie Gray Connors about physician-assisted suicide, euthanasia, and end-of-life ethics in the age of medical and technological power. Drawing on her book On Assisted Suicide (Word on Fire's Dignity series), Stephanie examines how language like “death with dignity” and “medical aid in dying” reshapes our moral imagination—and why dignity is not something we lose when we suffer.From Canada's rapidly expanding MAiD program to suicide pods in Europe and growing pressure on doctors and patients alike, this conversation explores what happens when a culture begins to treat death as a solution. We discuss suffering, autonomy, coercion, meaning, and the profound human need for relationship at the end of life.If you're wrestling with questions about assisted suicide, euthanasia, medical ethics, or how to speak compassionately about death and dignity, this episode offers clarity without abstraction—and hope without denial.In this episode, we explore:Assisted suicide vs. natural death: what's the ethical difference?Why “death with dignity” is a misleading phraseCanada's MAiD program and rising assisted-death ratesHow normalization creates pressure on the elderly, disabled, and poorThe illusion of control at the end of lifeViktor Frankl, meaning, and despair in the face of sufferingWhat compassionate, life-affirming end-of-life care really looks likeAbout the guestStephanie Gray Connors is an author and international speaker on bioethics, abortion, assisted suicide, and human dignity.

12/19/25 7am CT Hour - Mary Hallan Fiorito/ Kendra Tierney Norton John, Glen and Sarah chat about end of Rhode Island manhunt for Brown University shooter, Bishop Hicks comments on coming to New York. Mary shares the dangers of assisted suicide for those who are poor and disabled as well as the elderly. 3 Questions with Maryanne Kendra brings to life the many Christmas traditions we have from around the world.

New York has become the latest state to legalize assisted suicide — framing it as compassion, dignity, and personal freedom. But beneath the language of care lies a dangerous shift: the state now authorizes death as a solution to suffering. On today's episode, we examine New York's new law, the strong warnings from Catholic leaders and disability advocates, and why Scripture consistently teaches that life — even in suffering — is sacred and belongs to God alone. We also look at Canada's experience as a cautionary tale of how “guardrails” erode once the line is crossed.

Greg Bishop reviews the proponents and opponents take on a measure Gov. J.B. Pritzker enacted Friday allowing for end-of-life options for terminally ill patients, or physician-assisted suicide. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

One of the most complex medical, ethical, moral, and religious questions of our era is that of physician-assisted suicide—also known as Medical Aid in Dying, or MAID. Eleven U.S. states and Washington, D.C. have legalized some form of MAID for terminally ill patients. And New York might join them. Over the summer, a Medical Aid in Dying Act passed New York's state legislature. It is now sitting on Governor Kathy Hochul's desk as she decides whether to sign it into law. Under the proposed New York bill, terminally ill adults with a prognosis of six months or less to live would be able to access a prescribed, self-administered life-ending medication. Supporters argue that this is a compassionate option—one that can relieve people of immense pain and suffering, allowing patients to choose when and where they die, and to do so surrounded by loved ones. Opponents see this as a violation of physicians' fundamental oath to do no harm. They also worry that while access may begin narrowly, it could expand over time to include people seeking death for reasons other than terminal illness—such as mental suffering or simply a desire to stop living. Cases like this have already occurred in Belgium, the Netherlands, Canada, and Switzerland. Rafaela Siewert sat down with two experts who see this topic very differently for a heated debate. David Hoffman is a healthcare attorney, clinical ethicist, and professor of bioethics at Columbia University. He argues that hypothetical future abuses of MAID shouldn't outweigh the needs of terminal patients who need this option now. Dr. Lydia Dugdale is a physician, medical ethicist, and professor of medicine at Columbia University. In her view, legalizing this practice of physician-assisted suicide risks undermining the responsibilities of governments, medical systems, and families to care for the mentally ill, the poor, and the physically disabled. And she fears that the potential for excessively expanded access over time is too great. We are among the many Americans who do not know what the right answer is. We see both sides—which is why grappling with the nuances of this subject is so important. This is a debate you won't want to miss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Culture is racing toward comfort, control, and convenience—and the cost is showing up in our laws, our relationships, and our shared sense of right and wrong. We dive into Illinois' move toward legalizing assisted suicide, the long-game strategy that normalizes it across states, and a striking proposal in Scotland to create buffer zones that silence dissent near places where assisted deaths occur. These developments aren't just policy curiosities; they reveal what we believe about suffering, human dignity, and the role of the state in life and death.We also unpack a headline-grabbing AI “wedding” and what it says about the allure of frictionless companionship. Real love requires patience, sacrifice, and forgiveness; AI romance offers a mirage of intimacy with none of the risk. When marriage is reduced to personal fulfillment, we lose a cross-cultural truth: marriage orients us beyond ourselves—toward mutual good, community, and often children. That loss echoes in other spaces too, from social isolation to declining birthrates, where technology fills the quiet but rarely heals the ache.Threaded through the conversation is a deeper question: are moral claims just preferences, or do they point to something objectively true about people and purpose? We challenge the idea that the slippery slope is only a fallacy by tracking how premises around “choice” predictably expand policy boundaries. From a high-profile prisoner seeking access to legal suicide to the way dissent is policed, the logic keeps unfolding: if autonomy is everything, limits become arbitrary. We propose a better path—medicine that relieves pain without ending life, public spaces that protect compassionate speech, and relationships that favor depth over customization.If this resonated, share it with a friend, subscribe for future episodes, and leave a review to help others find the show. Then tell us: where should society draw the line on autonomy, death, and the promises of AI?SHOW NOTES:1. Illinois Poised to Legalize Assisted Suicide: In a surprise move in the early hours of Friday morning (10-31-25), the Illinois State Senate quietly took up and passed a bill to legalize assisted suicide by a one-vote margin. SB 1950 came up on the floor after 2 am during a veto session, with Senators voting 30-27 (with two not voting). The House passed SB 1950 in the spring, so the bill now goes to Governor Pritzker.  (Source: https://tinyurl.com/2d2urbr9  accessed 10-31-25)2.
