Webinar#181 Dr Trevor Stammers - Organ donation euthanasia


Listen Later

Recorded on 18 January 2024 for ICMDA Webinars.

Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr Trevor Stammers.

In every country which has legalised euthanasia, organ donation following euthanasia has also been legalised eventually. In Canada, organ removal was integrated to the euthanasia practice from the very start. 
The utilitarian case for it is overwhelming logical - if it is ethical to allow doctors to end a patient's life to relieve their suffering, then giving that patient the opportunity to save other lives naturally follows. 
This seminar will explore how organ donation euthanasia has grown, especially in Belgium and Canada, consider the arguments put forward for it and offer a biblical Christian response. 

Dr Trevor Stammers was Editor of The New Bioethics journal. He was formerly Associate Professor of Bioethics and Medical Law at St Mary's University, London and was a family doctor for 27 years before going into academia. His latest book is The Ethics of Global Organ Acquisition.
