Dr. Ewan Goligher: How Shall We Then Die? A Christian Physician’s Response to the Assisted-Death Crisis
Description
Guest Dr. Ewan Goligher, an Associate Professor of Medicine and Physiology at the University of Toronto and a critical care physician at the University Health Network, joins host Dr. Mike Chupp and co-host Dr. Brick Lantz for a candid conversation about the rapid rise of assisted death and the ethical crossroads facing modern medicine. Drawing from years at the bedside, leading research, and insights from his book How Shall We Then Die?, Dr. Goligher unpacks the cultural ideas reshaping our understanding of autonomy, suffering, and compassion. They explore what often lies beneath requests for assisted death, how euphemisms cloud moral clarity, and what truly distinguishes faithful end-of-life care from physician-caused death. It’s a conversation every Christian healthcare professional needs to hear.
