"Do No Harm" Now Has Exceptions | Do No Harm, Ep. 3
What happens when a right to die becomes a duty to die? For more than 2,000 years, medicine held that a physician must never intentionally kill.
Episode 3, "Bioethics: Abortion and Euthanasia" examines what happens when that line gives way. Physicians discuss how language is used to set aside certain human beings, why abortion has historically been seen as ethically problematic for the profession, and how physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia have expanded wherever they've been legalized, with Canada as a case study. They also ask what pressure these practices place on the sick, the disabled, and the elderly.
