Through our partnership with Family Life International, Familia is our pro-life issues podcast. Covering everything you need to know about the Catholic position on life, death, sexuality, abortion, contraception, and euthanasia, Familia is a vital resource for every pro-lifer. The podcast is currently on hiatus while the team in Christchurch settle down after the earthquakes that have rattled the region, but you can still access the archives of great content.
Familia — Episode 14
This month we take a break from our usual programing schedule to bring you a special presentation on euthanasia that was given by Brendan Malone last month in Auckland. The talk, entitled “Euthanasia and Human Dignity”, examines the recent cultural trend towards embracing euthanasia and it explores some of the philosophical errors underpinning this trend, and some good reasons why legalising euthanasia is a very dangerous thing for a society to do.

– Are pro-lifers just unrealistic idealists who promote ideas that just don’t work in the real world?
– What exactly does chastity mean?
