1: Graciously Confident: The State of the Debate
This is the first episode in a four part series in which Will Leitch will discuss the issue of assisted suicide and euthanasia with different guests. In this episode, Will sits down with Prof Max Watson, a leading palliative care specialist, and Rev Daniel Kane, Minister of West Presbyterian Church in Ballymena and Convenor of the Council for Public Affairs, to explore one of the most sensitive and significant ethical issues of our time — assisted suicide and euthanasia.Â
Together, they unpack what assisted suicide means in practice, examine the proposed legislative changes in the UK, and discuss why Christians should care deeply and engage thoughtfully with the debate. Whether you approach this topic from a faith perspective, a medical background, or simple human concern, you should be part of this conversation.
