Kathryn Tucker, the lawyer for Compassion and Choices (formerly Hemlock Society) and I will debate assisted suicide (which she insists on calling “aid in dying”) Tuesday night at the Holocaust Museum of Houston. Our presentations are part of a much larger series entitled “Medical Ethics and the Holocaust: How Healing Becomes Killing—Eugenics, Euthanasia and Extermination.”
Apparently, the event can be viewed live over the Internet from this page at the Museum site. We begin at 6:00PM Central Time. I speak first for 30 minutes. Tucker goes second. And then we take questions from the audience.
Tucker is one of the most able pro assisted- suicide advocates around. It should make for an interesting night.
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
