Assisted suicide promises control over death, but Scripture calls us to trust the Author of life, even in unbearable pain."Let us know what you think."This podcast is based on original BCWorldview.org content. Some episodes are narrated using an AI-generated version of the author's own voice.

It's Wednesday, September 2nd, 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 Another state in India passed anti-conversion law India's state of Maharashtra became the 13th in the country to enact an “anti-conversion” law last week. It's the country's second-most populous state. This has prompted thousands of churches in the area to have worshippers sign a form. The form simply says the person is attending freely and not under coercion.  India's “anti-conversion” laws are often used to target Christians. Hindu nationalists have attacked churches in Maharashtra 11 times in the last six months. India is ranked 12th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most dangerous places to be a Christian.  In John 15:18-19, Jesus said, “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet, because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” Send a polite, 4-sentence note to Vinay Kwatra, the Indian Ambassador to America, asking that he urge his government not to pass these anti-conversion laws which target Christians. Address it to the Embassy of India, 2107 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20008. You'll find the correct spelling of the ambassador's name and the address in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Australia's new assisted suicide law ABC News Australia reports Australia's Northern Territory passed a bill legalizing assisted suicide last week. The territory was the first in the world to legalize voluntary euthanasia in the 1990s. Australia's federal government overturned the law within a couple years. But in 2022, the government reversed its decision, allowing the territory to legalize assisted suicide once again.  Now, all states and territories in Australia allow for this form of killing. Over 7,200 people have died this way in the country since 2019. Trump's Venezuelan oil deal gives access to 65 billion barrels The Trump administration announced a major oil deal with Venezuela on Friday.  The deal would give the United States access to 17 oil fields in Venezuela with proven reserves of 65 billion barrels of oil. That's about 20 percent of the country's reserves. By comparison, the U.S. has 46 billion barrels of proven oil reserves.  President Donald Trump hopes the deal will lower gas prices for Americans. However, analysts suggest that the deal will not relieve prices in the short-term.  Homeland Security investigates voter fraud in 9 states CNN reports that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is investigating voter fraud in nine states ahead of the midterm elections in November. These states include California, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin. The Trump administration is pushing for states to phase out certain electronic voting systems and move to paper ballots. The administration has threatened to withhold significant homeland security funds from states that do not adopt such election changes.  ICE arrested 51,000 immigration arrests in July U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement made 51,000 immigration arrests in July. That's up from 43,000 arrests in June. Both months set records for the agency.  Nearly 20,000 of July's arrests were in Texas and Florida. Both states have been very cooperative with the Trump administration's mass deportation efforts.  Gallup poll: Americans supportive of marriage if couple has kids A new Gallup poll found that more Americans are supportive of marriage when children are involved. Thirty-nine percent of U.S. adults say it is very important for a couple to be legally married if they have a child together. That's up from 29 percent in 2020. However, it's down from 49 percent in 2006. Gallup noted, “Weekly church attendees show one of the largest increases since 2020 in the belief that couples, who have a child together, should be married, up 24 points, from 41% to 65%.” Bible societies distributed 148 million Scriptures in 2025 And finally, the United Bible Societies distributed over 148 million printed Scriptures in 2025.  The top countries for Bible distribution last year were Brazil, China, India, Nigeria, and the Philippines.  Rev. Dirk Gevers, Secretary General of the United Bibles Societies, said, “While printed Scriptures continue to reach hundreds of millions of people each year, digital engagement is growing, opening new opportunities to connect with the Bible through mobile devices and online platforms.” This year is the organization's 80th anniversary. Since 1946, the Bible society has distributed 25 billion Scriptures, including 1.1 billion complete Bibles.  Malachi 1:11 says, “From the rising of the sun, even to its going down, My name shall be great among the Gentiles; in every place incense shall be offered to My name, and a pure offering; for My name shall be great among the nations.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, September 2nd, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Medically assisted suicide is now legally available in New York state. New York's Medical Aid in Dying Act — which allows terminally ill patients with fewer than six months to live to end their lives — took effect Aug. 5.

Assisted suicide is a contested issue in American law and medicine, raising questions over individual autonomy, patient rights, medical ethics, and government interests in protecting life. Federal law prohibits the use of federal funds to pay for services intended to cause or assist a death, but this prohibition does not apply to ordinary palliative care.With several states legalizing physician-assisted suicide and more considering doing the same, the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requested information in a recent proposed rule on the overlap between “medical aid in dying” (MAID) and Medicare-funded hospice care. CMS sought information about how it can ensure compliance with federal law, promote program integrity, and safeguard against fraud in states where assisted suicide is legal.This raises broader questions, including about how policymakers distinguish between comfort care at the end of life and practices intended to hasten death. Join us for a panel examining the current legal and regulatory landscape surrounding assisted suicide in the United States.Featuring:Alexander Raikin, Visiting Fellow in Bioethics, Ethics and Public Policy CenterDr. Jeffrey A.

We track a month of headlines that force one big question: what makes a human life worth protecting? Along the way, we weigh euthanasia for children, the push for longer lives, and the temptation to treat AI and biotech as substitutes for moral authority. SHOW NOTES:Under 12 Assisted Suicide in the Netherlands: The Netherlands has confirmed its first euthanasia death of a child under 12, occurring late last year after a 2024 law extended eligibility to terminally ill children ages one to twelve. Parental and physician consent was required. A government review committee has since interviewed the attending doctor and will release findings soon.  (Source: https://tinyurl.com/2dykybch  accessed 6-25-26)Naturally Conceived and Born Identical Quadruplets: Doctors at Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital (Australia) delivered four identical girls from one fertilized egg, sharing a single placenta, a feat estimated at one in fifteen million pregnancies. Mother Jenitar carried the girls, Emily, Harriet, Alexa, and Catherine, to twenty-eight weeks before a c-section birth. Doctors call it an unheard-of, high-risk case (1 in 15 million pregnancies); the babies now grow strong in neonatal care.  (Source: https://tinyurl.com/22c7bwkn  accessed 7-23-26)Human Life Maxed at 156: Scientists modeled how random DNA changes in cells set a hard ceiling on human lifespan at roughly 146–194 years, even if other aging processes were cured.

Photo: Becket In this Legal Spirits Short Take, Center Director Mark Movsesian discusses a new federal lawsuit challenging New York's Medical Aid in Dying Act. Catholic healthcare providers argue that the state's statutory regime will require them to counsel patients about medically assisted suicide, even though their religious commitments prohibit them from participating in the practice. New York has not yet responded, and important questions remain about what the law actually requires. Assuming the plaintiffs' account is correct, Mark considers whether the counseling obligation substantially burdens their religious exercise, whether the law's different treatment of hospices undermines its general applicability, and whether New York could protect patient access to legal end-of-life options through less restrictive means. Listen in! The post Legal Spirits 080: A Short Take on Religious Objections to New York's Assisted-Suicide Law appeared first on LAW AND RELIGION FORUM.

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 A Bioethics Update – Wesley Smith, 7/23/26 (2043) first appeared on Issues, Etc..

John Gerardi is joined by Jonathan Keller of California Family Council to unpack the disturbing expansion of Canada's euthanasia program, from proposals to euthanize infants with disabilities to recommendations that minors consent to their own deaths without parental input. This week's mystery clip reveals just how far the MAID program has gone, with roughly half of 2024 recipients citing feeling like a burden rather than terminal illness. The guys then break down how activists quietly corrupt language, sliding from physician assisted suicide to medical assistance in dying to simply assisted death, and why that shift matters. Finally, they take on a New England Journal of Medicine article arguing to contextualize the dead donor rule, a euphemism for harvesting organs from euthanasia patients before death, and explain why the slippery slope keeps proving pro-lifers right.

It's Wednesday, July 15th, 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 and Adam McManus Pakistani Christians targeted in absurd blasphemy cases Most blasphemy cases in Pakistan in recent years were fabricated. Officials admitted this to a parliamentary committee last week. Christians were among the people targeted in the hundreds of fabricated cases.  The country's blasphemy law criminalizes insulting Islam. People often use the law to target religious minorities like Christians. Just last week, a Pakistani court acquitted a Christian man in this kind of case. Thirty-seven-year-old Dennis Albert had spent two years in prison over false accusations.  In Matthew 5:11-12, Jesus said, “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in Heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” British island legalizing assisted suicide The British Channel Island of Jersey is legalizing assisted suicide.  The self-governing island is under the British Crown. Jersey received Royal Assent for its so-called “Assisted Dying Law” last week. Once the law takes effect, the territory will be the first place in the British Isles to legalize such killing. Other jurisdictions in the British Isles are also trying to legalize assisted suicide. These include the Isle of Man as well as England and Wales.  Arkansas: Best state for religious liberty; New York is the worst First Liberty released its 2026 Religious Liberty in the States report. The index ranks states in America based on how well they protect religious freedom.  Only Arkansas and Tennessee received excellent scores on the index. New York and Vermont scored the worst. The majority of states scored below 50 percent on the index.  Arkansas' Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders spoke at a press conference after her state won the highest score on the index. Listen. SANDERS: “Jesus commands us to live out our faith boldly. The Constitution protects our rights to do so. In this administration, we don't just believe that Jesus is our living hope. We will always stand up for the rights of Arkansans who believe the same. “I want to thank First Liberty for recognizing Arkansas's work and for honoring us with this ranking. It's something we are very proud of and we will continue to make sure we stay number one.” Michigan pro-life groups will not be compelled to hire pro-aborts A federal judge ruled in favor of pro-life groups in Michigan last week.  A state law would require pro-life organizations to hire pro-abortion employees. Right to Life of Michigan and Pregnancy Resource Center challenged this law in court. The recent ruling blocks Michigan from enforcing the law.  Amber Roseboom, president of Right to Life of Michigan, said, “The court's decision is a welcome reprieve and reaffirms our fundamental right to hire employees who agree with our life-affirming mission.” New law will make housing more affordable The 21st Century Road to Housing Act became law in the United States. last Saturday.  The bipartisan bill is an attempt to make housing more affordable for Americans. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt described the law on X. She said, “This bipartisan bill includes policies long championed by the President. It cuts unnecessary red tape, helps increase housing supply, and limits the ability of large institutional investors to purchase single-family homes.” Median home price: $440,600 In related news, home prices continued to rise last month. A report from the National Association of Realtors found that the median sales price of an existing home reached $440,600 in June. That's the highest on record.  Lawrence Yun with the National Association of Realtors noted, “Affordability is better than a year ago because wage growth is outpacing home price growth. However, progress on long-term housing affordability could be hampered if inventory growth continues to stall.” People who experienced heartache more likely to turn to Bible Last week, the American Bible Society released the fourth chapter of its “State of the Bible: USA 2026” report.  The survey found that people who experienced a negative life event in the past year were significantly more likely to be Bible users than those who had not experienced that challenge. Such challenges included divorce, natural disaster, life-threatening illness or injury, death of a close friend or family member, and unemployment. The report noted, “Amidst hardships, those who regularly engage with Scripture maintain significantly higher flourishing scores.” In John 16:33, Jesus said, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Worldview listeners weigh in from Kansas, Washington, and Indiana Susan Tarwater in Hoyt, Kansas, wrote me and said, “I do not watch television. So, I depend on The Worldview as a shortened version of important news I need to hear. Especially news that a Christian needs to be aware of without all the glitter.” Tom Lister in Spokane, Washington wrote me to say, “Adam, I listen to your broadcast every weekday morning. I especially like how you keep us informed about the church, the persecution of many, and how, in many places, the church is slipping into apostasy. I also appreciate how you always end on a very positive outlook. Keep up the good fight! I'm a monthly supporter already but might be able to increase the amount.” And Melinda Johnson in Indianapolis, Indiana, wrote, “I've been listening to and reading The Worldview for several years now. My favorite part of the news is hearing about different stories that are not reported by mainstream media -- things like persecuted Christians, updates on abortion, how the Gospel is impacting the world, and issues affecting the conservative Christian movement. “The Worldview is quite different than any other news, even Christian sources, that cover the regular news. Your newscast brings up topics that help me know what to pray for in the world. You and the team are continuing in a great work!” 3 Worldview listeners gave $205 And finally, on Tuesday by 6:00pm Central, only 3 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another year Our thanks to Teresa in Haverford, Pennsylvania who gave $5 as well as Lawrence in Lynchburg, Virginia and Gary in Westminster, Colorado – both of whom gave $100 Those 3 gifts add up to $205.

Physician-assisted suicide is rapidly expanding across the Western world. As more governments embrace "assisted dying," Christians are faced with difficult questions about suffering, dignity, compassion, and the sanctity of human life.In this episode of The Postscript Show, Brandon Briscoe and James Fyffe examine the biblical case against assisted suicide and euthanasia, comparing today's cultural shift with Scripture's teaching that God alone is the giver and taker of life. The discussion explores Canada's MAID program, the moral consequences of redefining human dignity, common arguments in favor of assisted dying, and how Christians should respond with both truth and compassion.Whether you're trying to understand the ethics of physician-assisted suicide or looking for a biblical framework for end-of-life issues, this conversation will help you think clearly from a Christian worldview.If you enjoyed this episode, like the video, subscribe, and share it with someone wrestling with these important questions.Visit https://www.lfbi.org/learnmore

Today, Paul M. Neuberger ignites the conversation our culture tries to snuff out—assisted suicide. It's not just a policy issue. It's not just a healthcare debate. This is a war for the soul of our society, for the sacredness of every human life, from the boardroom to the bedside.While the world calls death “compassion,” we call it what it is: surrender to fear and loss of hope. And Paul M. Neuberger refuses to bow. He calls out the lies. He names the slippery slopes. He pulls back the curtain on what's happening in Canada—and warns what could come next.You'll hear the cost. The criticism. The pressure to stay silent. But here's the greater truth: Jesus is still Lord. Human value is non-negotiable. Life is not up for grabs.So… when your moment comes—will you stand?Will you speak?Will you fight for life?"So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." –Genesis 1:27Episode Highlights20:51 - The world often asks, what can this person contribute? God asks, do you understand who created this person? Those are entirely different perspectives. And here's where Christians have got to be especially careful. The culture often presents assisted suicide as an issue of compassion. But when compassion becomes disconnected from truth, it becomes pretty dangerous.36:18 - Once a society accepts the premise that death can be an appropriate solution to suffering, determining where that principle stops becomes extraordinarily difficult. Scripture says this in Proverbs 4:23. Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. The principle applies not only to individuals, but also to cultures. Ideas matter, worldviews matter. Foundational assumptions matter.44:44 - The culture may not applaud biblical truth, but Christians were never called to measure success by applause. Instead, we were called to measure success by obedience. Jesus said this in Matthew 5:14-16. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Let your light shine before others that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Light can't fulfill its purpose if it remains hidden.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

June 16, 2026 ~ Jeff Monosso explains the growing legal fight over Illinois' controversial end-of-life law and what it means for terminally ill patients and their families.

A new Gallup poll reveals some striking insights into how Americans feel about assisted suicide. 49% of respondents answered that committing suicide with a doctor's help is morally acceptable, buy only 21% find suicide in general to be morally acceptable. We look at the disparity in support with Wes Smith.

Recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival 2025 on Saturday 18 October at Church House and the Abbey Centre, Westminster. ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION Labour MP Kim Leadbeater's Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill is still being discussed in parliament. But beyond proposals for a law change, how should we tackle one of the great debates of our time: should we set up a system of assisted death and profound questions it raises about everything from whether adults have a right to assistance to end their own life to what safeguards and protections should exist between individuals and the state when death is offered as a medical option by health professionals. Philosopher and bestselling author of Material Girls Kathleen Stock will lead a discussion raising themes in her forthcoming book Do Not Go Gentle, arguing that we should reaffirm life, rather than death and collectively, we should rage against the dying of the light. The issue throws up many moral dilemmas worth discussing: Is the status quo a ‘cruel mess,' to quote campaigner Dame Esther Rantzen? Is assisted death for those with a terminal illness, or suffering chronic pain or extreme mental distress, a progressive and compassionate choice as its supporters argue? Does it give a person more “freedom” or “control” over their lives, allow dignity in dying as it were? How should we square a patient's freedom of choice with existing frameworks of medical ethics? Will having the right to take control of your death by asking a doctor to kill you, really have broader sinister outcomes for the vulnerable, the elderly, the disabled, the suicidally depressed as its opponents warn? Is it ever possible to guard effectively against situations in which people are coerced to die, either by family members or by a state that is too often incapable of providing adequate palliative care? Or are such slippery slope arguments just a form of emotive scaremongering? How should we all approach our own or loved ones' terminal illness and death? SPEAKERS Dr Az Hakeem consultant psychiatrist and medical director, Psyche Clinic; author, Trans and Detrans Sonia Sodha columnist and broadcaster Dr Kathleen Stock columnist, UnHerd; co-director, The Lesbian Project; author, Do Not Go Gentle: The Case Against Assisted Death Professor Kevin Yuill emeritus professor of history, University of Sunderland; author, Assisted Suicide: the liberal, humanist case against legalization

Send us Fan MailMany of us remember the 90's when a man named Dr. Kevorkian, or Dr. Death, was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to a 10 to 25 years in prison for helping people commit suicide. His "suicide machine," and role in helping people end their lives shocked many of us. Fast forward thirty years, though, and we now live in a world where the idea of legally assisted suicide is not only not shocking, it's heralded as a way to help people die with dignity. As of 2026, assisted suicide is fully legal in over 13 countries, as well as several states in America. Some are even allowing children as young as 12! to make the decision to end their lives without parental consent. What is behind this horrific trend and how should the church respond to it?Thanks for tuning in! Be sure to check out everything Proverbs 9:10 on our website, www.proverbs910ministries.com!

As the socialistic Canadian medical system runs aground, the government actively promotes physician-assisted suicide as a way to save the system and promoting “die with dignity” at the same time.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/assisted-suicide-logical-outcome-government-controlled-medical-care

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with bioethicist and psychiatrist Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, author of “Making the Cut: How to Heal Modern Medicine.” 

Bioethicist and psychiatrist Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, author of “Making the Cut: How to Heal Modern Medicine,” discusses declining public trust in healthcare. Kheriaty describes his medical training and argues medicine has become an industrial, bureaucratic “turnstile” system that dehumanizes care, turns physicians into data-entry clerks, and relies on reimbursement-driven “guidelines” and narrow evidence-based medicine that favors costly pharmaceuticals. He proposes creating “parallel” grassroots medical institutions—such as direct primary care—analogous to homeschooling and Eastern European dissidents' “parallel polis,” since systemic reform from within is difficult. Kheriaty recounts opposing COVID vaccine mandates at UC Irvine, being fired after suing, and participating in Missouri v. Biden and Ho v. Newsom, which challenged government-influenced social-media censorship and California's physician “misinformation” law. He also discusses informed consent, assisted suicide opposition, and advocating opt-in organ donation.

New York has become the 13th state, along with Washington, D.C., to legalize medically assisted suicide. More than a dozen other states are also considering legalizing the practice, which supporters call medical aid in dying.

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!

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?
