Dying with Christ, Living with Hope
Imagine a healthcare system where death is considered a therapeutic treatment. Imagine being a Christian doctor in that system. Imagine being told by your medical regulator that you are abandoning your patient if you don’t make arrangements for them to get an assessment for euthanasia. That healthcare system is in Nova Scotia today. The Nova Scotia medical regulator is pushing through a policy that would force physicians to refer patients for euthanasia, abortion, and transgender services. Twenty-three courageous Christian physicians have told Nova Scotia’s medical regulator that they cannot abide by this new draft policy.
This program is a three-part series that presents a hope-filled perspective on a universal experience using video presentations, a workbook, and small group discussions. The video presentations, featuring theologians and healthcare professionals, give timeless perspectives on suffering, grief, dying, our duty to care, and how dying with Christ is attainable for everyone.
