New York is closer than it’s ever been to legal doctor-assisted suicide. We’re supposed to call it medical aid in dying — MAID — as if euphemisms can console us in our cruelty.
Charlie Camosy, a moral theologian and ethicist at Creighton University and St. Joseph’s Seminary, talks with me about why New York needs to say “no” to this lethal law.
We also talk about the abortion-pill study from the Ethics and Public Policy Center that should be breaking news, but isn’t in the mainstream. I’ve also yet to see the Trump administration react. You don’t even have to oppose abortion to take note that one in ten women who use the abortion-pill cocktail have complications — at least 22 times more than we had previously known about. If we care about women’s health, we should be paying attention.
