Wesley J. Smith Talks to Issues, Etc. About Euthanasia Around the World

Listen at Issues, Etc.
Categories
Euthanasia

Wesley J. Smith joined Todd Wilken on Issues, Etc. to discuss euthanasia around the world. Smith discusses how various countries around the world, like Canada, New Zealand, and multiple nations in Europe, have embraced euthanasia. He also explains why this is dangerous to the societal value of human life.

We’ve changed the purpose of society from protecting innocent life, for many people, to eliminating suffering. And if eliminating suffering becomes the prime purpose, that quickly mutates into eliminating the sufferer.
