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.
