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.

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.

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.

In this episode, Dr. John Neufeld tackles a common question: Why can't God just be satisfied when people are happy and fulfilled, regardless of what they believe? Drawing from Isaiah 43, he explores the foundational truth that we were created for God's glory, not our own satisfaction. Dr. Neufeld challenges the modern tendency toward experience-only faith and reminds us that we weren't made for ourselves—we were made for Him.I've Got Questions: In this thought-provoking series, Dr. John Neufeld tackles the real questions people are asking today—from the exclusivity of Christ to the problem of suffering, from biblical authority to assurance of salvation. Rather than offering quick answers, he uses each question as a bridge back to the foundational truths of Scripture. Dr. Neufeld equips believers to build their faith on solid ground while engaging honestly with the challenges of our contemporary world.

In the Senate the bill also received overwhelming support and will soon be on the way to the Presidents desk for his signature—

Guest speaker Michael Dewilde discusses the ethics of assisted suiciee. Does respect for the autonomy of an individual, or a callous indifference to the sanctity of life? A compassionate response to pain, in it many forms, or an efficient if selfish way to spare the living unwanted costs of care? A responsible use of medical training, or the undermining of all physicians are supposed to hold dear?

Susie found out that the lesbian community has a real affinity for fingers, and she might have what they're looking for, but she wonders if the gays are keeping secrets about their romantic ways. We learn about a man who announced his intention to do assisted suicide, but asked people to invite him to dinner beforehand. We find out how his dinner tour is going, why mental health experts are not impressed with him, and why he might abandon his original plan. We discuss an all-women commune and find out why they forbid men, how they arrange their community, and why it's so popular. Susie talks about the new documentary about the Yogurt Shop Murders, and how the film shows the ripple effect of violent crime in families and communities, and why it extends beyond crimes's victims.
