Activity: Speaker Session
Title: Assisted Suicide is not the Answer: Killing is not Caring Description: Alex will define euthanasia and assisted suicide, and differentiate it from withdrawal of treatments, as it applies to Catholic moral teaching. He will also outline what is happening with assisted suicide in America today, and he will provide a brief explanation of what is happening with euthanasia in Canada. He'll help us to understand why people ask for assisted suicide, and how we need to respond by caring for others. Location: Our Lady of the Angels Hall |

Activity: Speaker Session
Title: Terri Schiavo, Healthcare and the Sanctity of Life: Caring for All, Protecting the Vulnerable Description: Bobby will begin by discussing his sister Terri's case, and then trace how euthanasia has gradually infiltrated the U.S. since the 1920s. He'll connect this historical shift to the current bioethics movement, examining how it has influenced healthcare practices and led to the troubling justification of ending the lives of medically vulnerable individuals based on subjective quality of life assessments.
