Is assisted suicide really about dignity - or is there another agenda here?

In this episode of Into the Truth, Pierpaolo Finaldi speaks to Archbishop Anthony Fisher OP about the growing push for assisted suicide and euthanasia. As a Dominican friar, bioethicist, and Archbishop of Sydney, he brings a Catholic perspective to this urgent debate, challenging the cultural shift towards normalising death on demand.

* What does true compassion look like in end-of-life care?

* How does assisted suicide undermine medical ethics and the doctor-patient relationship?

* What lessons can we learn from countries where euthanasia is already legal?

* What meaning can be found in suffering?

* What role does faith play in shaping a culture of life?

Beyond the legal and ethical concerns, Archbishop Fisher reflects on the broader societal implications: how Western secularism, declining faith, and the loss of transcendence have contributed to a culture that sees death as a solution rather than a passage to eternal life with God.

If you care about ethics, human dignity, and the sanctity of life, or if you're not sure what to think about the UK's current push for assisted suicide, this discussion is a must-watch.
