When does medicine cross the line from caring for the dying to causing death? Dr. Ewan Goligher joins All Rise to discuss the rapid expansion of physician-assisted death, what Canada’s experience can teach us, and the troubling idea of death becoming a form of therapy.

Drawing from his book, How Should We Then Die? A Christian Response to Physician-Assisted Death, Goligher talks about suffering, autonomy, medical conscience, the difference between allowing someone to die and deliberately causing death, and why human worth does not disappear when health, independence, or usefulness does.
