The Global Push for Euthanasia and How to Respond | Fr. Shenan Boquet

Описание: Euthanasia and assisted suicide are expanding worldwide — from Canada’s MAID program to proposed laws in the UK and France. In this episode, Fr. Shenan Boquet breaks down the alarming global trends, including:

Concerning stories regarding Canada’s MAID program
Cases of euthanasia performed despite revoked consent
The emergence of AI-assisted suicide “death pods”
The growing pressure on the elderly, disabled, and vulnerable

As countries debate “safeguards,” we examine why guardrails never actually work — and why the Catholic Church teaches that euthanasia and assisted suicide are always morally wrong.

But this episode is about more than warning signs. It’s also about hope.

Fr. Boquet explains:
Why proposed assisted suicide legislation stalled in the UK
How France is expanding palliative care
Why palliative care is the true compassionate alternative
How parish communities can combat isolation
Why human dignity never depends on age, illness, or ability
How families can prepare ethically for end-of-life decisions

If you’re concerned about medical assistance in dying (MAID), end-of-life ethics, or the growing normalization of euthanasia, this conversation will give you clarity and practical direction.
