Apparently assisted suicide is becoming a big topic in Sweden, and so I have been asked by Radio UPF, out of the University of Lund, to speak on the issue of “suicide tourism.” They stated that opinions like mine aren’t heard all that often, and so they asked for some of my time. I am, of course, honored, but wish my views were so ubiquitous that it bored people.
For Swedish SHSers, the time is approximately 5:30 PM in Sweden, 11:30 East Coast Time (USA), and 8:30 AM, my time in CA. Here is the URL for Radio UPF. I think they have a listen live capacity for anyone else who might want to tune in.
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.
