Is abortion murder? Is it a baby or just a clump of cells? How do we decide when a person is worthy of protection? I sat down with human rights commentator Lois McLatchie Miller to debate all these questions and more…
Lois serves as the Senior Legal Communications Officer for ADF International and frequently defends the values of life, family and freedom of speech on the BBC, GB News, and various print media platforms.

ABOUT THE NEXT GENERATION:
In a world saturated by social media and marked by skyrocketing rates of anxiety, depression, and ADHD among Gen Z, young people are growing up in a landscape of chaos and contradiction. While protests swell in city streets and activists hurl soup at famous artworks to demand climate action, a quieter crisis unfolds within - the mental and emotional battles faced by a generation trying to make sense of it all.
The Next Generation is hosted by 20-year-old Elliot Bewick, offering a raw and honest look at the world through the eyes of those living in it. Bringing together insight from professionals and young people on the ground, this podcast isn’t here to complain or chase clout. It’s here to bend the arc of the modern world towards solutions, truth and a love for the beautiful adventure of life itself.
