🔥 Two Doctors, One Hot Debate: Assisted Dying or Assisted Suicide? 🔥
Is it compassion or crossing a dangerous line? Should a citizen be able to demand death from the state? What about the vulnerable who could have their end hastened – who decides? 🤔
With the UK Government preparing for a pivotal debate on assisted dying, this topic is sparking major conversations across the nation. Following a BBC documentary featuring actress Liz Carr, the spotlight is shining brightly on the question: should anyone be eligible for medical assistance in dying? 🏥
🇨🇦 A shocking Canadian survey reveals that poverty, homelessness, mental illness, and disability are increasingly seen as valid reasons for euthanasia:
💸 41% say poverty justifies it.
♿ 60% believe being disabled is enough.
But should doctors—who are meant to heal—also help end lives? What does Christianity have to say? Are we playing God by deciding when to die?
Join host Roger Bolton as he moderates this crucial conversation featuring two doctors with vastly opposing views:
🌍 UK’s Dr. Mark Pickering (Christian Medical Fellowship)
🇨🇦 Canada’s Dr. Ellen Wiebe
🚨 This debate is more relevant than ever. Don’t miss out!
