Religion and Euthanasia

The highly controversial topic of euthanasia is examined in this program through the eyes of several medical and religious experts. Euthanasia as an acceptable practice is discussed within the context of current "right-to-die" cases, including the highly publicized assisted-suicide activities of Dr. Jack Kevorkian. We see how individual rights issues often overshadow legal arguments. Efforts currently under way by religious groups to block the practice are examined. Overall, the program represents an excellent starting point for discussions about what role religion and morality should play in the euthanasia debate. (29 minutes)
