Plenary | How Should We Then Die? (Dr. Ewan Goligher)

How Should We Then Die? A Christian Response to Physician-Assisted Death Presented by Ewan Goligher, MD, PhD Physician-assisted death delineates the set of practices whereby a physician deliberately and intentionally acts to cause a patient’s death with their consent. It is rapidly gaining social and professional acceptance throughout the Western world and has been normalized in medical practice in countries like Canada, the Netherlands, Belgium, and elsewhere. Because it represents a sharp break from the Hippocratic tradition received and embraced by the Christian West, physician-assisted death constitutes a sea change in the mores of medicine. Death, like so many other things in consumerist societies, now comes to us as a matter of choice. In this lecture, we will explore the root causes of the growing demand for death on demand and offer reasons to resist this practice. These reasons concern the nature of the human person, the nature of human value, and the nature of human destiny. From CBHD's 2025 Summer Conference, Living in the Biotech Century: The First 25 Years
