As a team this Lent, we felt called to do a series of episodes on euthanasia. In this first instalment, we discuss why the topic strikes a deep chord in each of us, and Rachael interviews MP Garnett Genuis, to help us get informed and inspired! Garnett is a young Catholic Canadian politician who has worked tirelessly on this issue, to stand up for life, for conscience rights and for those most vulnerable to abuse in a world of legalized euthanasia.
Right now in Canada, Bill C-7, which proposes radical expansion of access to euthanasia, is being debated in the House of Commons - and could become law very shortly. With this bill on the table, there is an urgent need for us to act. Garnett articulates the reasons why everyone, even people who support euthanasia, should be concerned by the extremity of these recent amendments. He inspires us with his example and words to do whatever we can to fight for the truth, and for those most vulnerable. We hope that all Canadians who oppose these changes will speak up against this Bill in the next few days. At the end of the episode Garnett provides many ways in which this can be done!

For our international listeners, we hope this episode will inspire you to work proactively in your own country to build a culture of life, and we ask for your prayers!
