Episode 85 - Why Euthanasia Is Not Compassionate
Euthanasia (or "good death") often returns to the front line of political, ethical, and religious debate, most recently with the "Assisted Dying" bill brought before the British parliament. The language used to describe euthanasia (as with abortion) is often very reasonable-sounding and compassionate. But does it conceal? How does such language subtly change our response to what is really going on What is the danger of instituting laws which change the way we view the value of human life within society? How should Christians respond to the complexities of this topic sensitively and wisely? Join Aaron and Andy once more as they dive into another vitally important topic for our times. ** SUPPORT POD OF THE GAPS HERE: https://soundcloud.com/wkop-podcast ** SOME OF THE RESOURCES WE MENTIONED ...
