Physician-Assisted Suicide in Illinois: Why Christians Are Raising the Alarm

from The Common Good Podcast · host Brian From

Brian From is joined by Zachary Mettler of Focus on the Family to discuss Illinois’ newly signed law legalizing physician-assisted suicide and why it raises serious moral, medical, and spiritual concerns. Mettler explains the arguments often used to support the practice—autonomy and compassion—and why they fall short in light of advances in hospice care and the Christian vision of human dignity. The conversation challenges believers to thoughtfully engage a growing “culture of death” and to advocate for a gospel-centered ethic that affirms life, even in suffering.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
