Description

What happens after killing is legalized?In this episode of Bioethics Babe, I sit down with Alex Schadenberg, Executive Director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, to examine what Canada’s euthanasia regime reveals about medicine, consent, and human dignity.Euthanasia and assisted suicide are often framed as compassion about choice, autonomy, and relief from suffering. But as Canada’s MAiD system shows, once killing becomes legal, safeguards collapse, definitions expand, and the most vulnerable people are placed at risk.In this conversation, we discuss:The moral difference between euthanasia, assisted suicide, and end-of-life careWhy killing is always wrong and why every human life has inherent valueHow “quality of life” arguments become tools for discriminationDisturbing Canadian cases involving euthanasia without true consentWhy disability, mental illness, poverty, and isolation increasingly intersect with euthanasiaHow safeguards are used to pass laws then are quietly dismantledWhat the United States can learn from Canada, Europe, New Zealand, and AustraliaWhy the “slippery slope” is no longer theoretical, but measurableThis is a difficult conversation, but a necessary one.If we redefine care as killing, what happens to medicine, trust, and our responsibility to protect one another?📚For Episode Resources, please visit the episode page: For more information, the latest episodes, and additional resources, visit www.bioethicsbabe.com.Follow BB on social media:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BioethicsBabeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61576554667052Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bioethicsbabeX: https://x.com/bioethicsbabe
