With the growth of the number of countries legalizing euthanasia to various degrees, we thought it would be a good topic to discuss this week. You know, why not hit on another lighthearted topic, amiright?

In our conversation, we discuss the importance of life in Judaism, the moral dilemmas surrounding euthanasia, and the role of rabbis in guiding families through end-of-life decisions. We touch on the intersection of euthanasia and healthcare systems, if Judaism seems to have a difference between suicide and euthanasia, and discuss concerns around the implications of state-sponsored euthanasia in countries with socialized medicine.
