About this sermon
The European Court of Human Rights recently issued a ruling on a highly anticipated case involving assisted suicide. The high court says Belgium violated the right to life of a 64 year old woman who was euthanized in 2012. She died after saying she suffered from untreatable depression. The landmark case was brought by her son, who says family members were not consulted by a doctor prior to her death. The Catholic Church is strongly against assisted suicide. In 2020, the Vatican called it "intrinsically evil." Editor in Chief of CNA Deutsch, AC Wimmer, joins to tell us more about what the court said in its ruling and whether the ruling was a surprise. Wimmer shares what the assisted suicide laws are in Belgium and whether this ruling is making it harder for people to seek assisted suicide. He discusses what the reaction was of the woman's family members and pro-lifers in Belgium to the ruling. Wimmer fills us in on what other stories he is following.
