Ethical Assisted Dying with Chris

The Ethical Evolution Podcast - A podcast by Ethical Change Agency - Sundays

This episode is a special, requested episode for a story that really needs to be told. For privacy reasons, my guest will remain anonymous but will be known as Chris. When a friend reached out to me to ask me if I would like to share his story, I knew this was a conversation that needed to be had and could provide release, value and understanding in a situation that poses ethical questions and a path to peace. Chris was the recipient of a double lung and heart transplant after a lifetime of health issues and has since been diagnosed with an aggressive cancer which is making its way toward his brain. He made the brave decision to refuse radiation treatment and surgery and has been approved to participate in voluntary assisted dying in Queensland. This conversation is not an easy one, but one that Chris bravely navigates in the hope that others learn the true value of life and to assist others facing a similar situation. At times it is raw and confronting and if you or someone you know is impacted by this conversation - help is available - speak to someone today - here in Australia Lifeline is available 24 hours a day on 13 11 14.  This podcast is brought to you by Ethical Change Agency.
