A good Death? Mercy, Mortality & Medically Assisted Death

As the Canadian government moves to legalize medically assisted dying, many questions remain.

  • Who will be affected by the legislation?

  • What does it mean for doctors and patients? and

  • How should Christians respond?

This spring, Dr. Ellen Wiebe was the first doctor to facilitate the court-approved death of a patient in Canada.

At your convenience, hear Iwan Russell-Jones's interview with Dr. Wiebe about her support for and participation in assisted dying. Bioethicist Dr. Edwin Hui, oncologist Dr. Tim Maughan, and hospital chaplain Philip Weaver respond, bringing Christian ethics, theology, and practice to bear on this critical issue.
