Rock star Bon Jovi has received much media attention lately. Seeing a woman standing on the edge of a bridge, he cared enough to talk her out of jumping. She eventually came over the railing and received a big hug from him. Bon Jovi’s kindness was praised and resonated deeply with many. Yet, this heroic act of kindness also inadvertently reveals a culture deeply at odds with itself. Join Andy, Steve, and Troy as they discuss how our culture simultaneously champions those who want to end their life and those who talk people out of it.

Leave a Comment / Podcast, Uncategorized / By

Since the Supreme Court of Canada first opened the door to so-called MAiD (medical assistance in dying), the door has opened ever wider. It’s coming to the point where Canada is becoming extreme in her eagerness to offer death as an option to those who are suffering, tempered only by—at least, in theory—respect for the patient’s autonomy. In this week’s edition of the AC Podcast, Steve sat down with Mike Schouten, the Director of Advocacy for ARPA Canada, to put a human face to what can often be talked about in abstraction. Join us this week to hear from Mike how his family navigated the last days of a loved one and how this impacted their view on doctor-assisted death.

Andy and Steve invited Larry Worthen, the Executive Director for the Christian Medical and Dental Association in Canada, to discuss the legal and social aspect of this discussion.
