Award-winning author and Discovery Institute Center on Human Exceptionalism Chair Wesley J. Smith joined the Prairie State Wire podcast to discuss the expanding push for assisted suicide. Smith explained why advocates rely on euphemistic language to obscure the true implications of euthanasia policies.

He identified the ill, disabled, and elderly as the most vulnerable to this messaging and argued that society has a moral obligation to protect them. The conversation also examined shifting bioethics and warned against cultural trends that attempt to judge whose lives are considered "worthwhile" and whose are not.
