Euthanasia: The Ethics of Choosing Whether to Die or Not‏

Listen Now

The debate about euthanasia (the right to choose to die) has not yet lost its controversial tone; especially, in relation to issues of faith and ethics. This act is also called 'mercy killing'. Although in 2002 euthanasia became legal in the Netherlands for those who desire to die in this fashion, not everyone is totally comfortable with the idea. In our next programme we'd be hosting Mr. Robert Schurink, the director of the NVVE, an association which wholly supports this cause. We would be examining the medical, ethical and moral aspects of this topic.
