Is assisted suicide really about dignity - or is there another agenda here?
In this episode of Into the Truth, Pierpaolo Finaldi speaks to Archbishop Anthony Fisher OP about the growing push for assisted suicide and euthanasia. As a Dominican friar, bioethicist, and Archbishop of Sydney, he brings a Catholic perspective to this urgent debate, challenging the cultural shift towards normalising death on demand.
Beyond the legal and ethical concerns, Archbishop Fisher reflects on the broader societal implications: how Western secularism, declining faith, and the loss of transcendence have contributed to a culture that sees death as a solution rather than a passage to eternal life with God.
If you care about ethics, human dignity, and the sanctity of life, or if you're not sure what to think about the UK's current push for assisted suicide, this discussion is a must-watch.

Is faith rational? Can science point us towards God? Who was Jesus Christ? Is the Resurrection historically credible? And if Christ is real, why do we need the Catholic Church?They also explore the growing interest in Christianity among young people, the problem of suffering, the relationship between science and religion, and why the Church should have confidence in making the case for the Catholic faith.Apologetics is not about being defensive or winning arguments. It is about giving a reason for the hope that is within us and helping people encounter the truth of Jesus Christ.
