According to Smith, "Support for euthanasia can be seen as merely a symptom of the deeper illness of nihilism, a social cancer that has been gnawing steadily away at us for more than a century."

Smith examines a new extreme environmentalism that seeks to grant equal rights to . . . Nature. Yes, Nature. "Nature rights" have just been embodied as the highest law of the land in Ecuador's newly ratified constitution. Rather than establishing environmental protections as a human duty, there is now a self-demotion of humankind to merely one among the billions of life forms on Earth, no more worthy of protection than any other part of the natural world. What is the potential harm to human welfare? Listen in as Wesley J. Smith...
2008-11-1809 minWhat It Means to Be HumanHuman Exceptionalism Is Necessary for Human RightsOn this episode of What It Means to Be Human, Wesley J. Smith, senior fellow in Human Rights and Bioethics at Discovery Institute, explains why human exceptionalism is so important for universal human rights.
There is a war being waged against unique human worth on many fronts, from personhood theory and the animal liberation movement to radical environmentalism and philosophical materialism. Very powerful forces have dedicated themselves to convincing us that we really aren't all that important. Smith explains these attacks and shows why human exceptionalism must be defended for the sake of human rights everywhere.

2007-10-0633 minWhat It Means to Be HumanVick Charges Speak to Our HumanityDo animals have rights? Bioethicist Wesley J. Smith investigates this issue in light of the dog fighting scandal surrounding football star Michael Vick. Smith argues that the outrage generated by Vick’s alleged actions stems not from any violation of animal rights, but from the violation of his own humanity. Smith reasons that humans are the only conscious organisms in the universe, the only beings able to reason and choose. This sets humans apart from animals, and vests in them a responsibility to treat animals fairly. If Vick facilitated a sanguinary sport like dog fighting, Smith concludes, then Vick has cr...
2007-08-1504 minWhat It Means to Be HumanSoul Believer: In Defense of Human ExceptionalismIn this installment of BNB, Wesley J. Smith discusses the ongoing assault on human exceptionalism. Exceptionalism holds that human life is intrinsically unique and valuable, different from life as experienced by other organisms. Rising to challenge this idea is an array of figures including philosophers, academics, environmentalists, and materialists. Such people seek to erode any separation between humans and other species, and wipe away the idea that humans are beings with a soul. Smith warns that this trend could eradicate any foundation for human rights, and even pave the road toward classification of humans based on superiority and fitness.
2007-07-1806 minWhat It Means to Be HumanIs the DEA scaring doctors away from treating pain aggressivelyIs the Drug Enforcement Administration scaring doctors away from treating pain aggressively? Bioethicist Wesley J. Smith discusses recent reports on the DEA’s aggressive pursuit of doctors who subscribe pain medication for chronic pain sufferers. The perception by doctors that the DEA is “gunning” for those who may over prescribe, which according to Smith can result in a lamentable deterence to the proper alleviation of pain. Legislation to help ease this tension and provide a solution has been caught up in the debata over assisted suicide with supporters of doctor assisted suicide warning that such legislation threatens Oregon’s assited suicide
2007-06-2205 minWhat It Means to Be HumanEugenic Embryo ScreeningOn this episode of Brave New Bioethics, Wesley Smith takes a look at the disturbing trend toward embryo quality control. After embryo-screening was recently employed to prevent a child from being born who might contract adult-onset cancer, Wesley asks if this eugenic attitude might continue to the point that we permit no babies to be born at all.
2007-05-0103 minWhat It Means to Be HumanSupreme Court Upholds Ban on Partial Birth AbortionOn this episode of BNB Wesley Smith looks at last week's Supreme Court decision upholding the ban on partial birth abortion. Smith examines the majority decision, written by Justice Kennedy, and notes that it an assertion that seems to be a stronger affirmation of the moral value of nascent human life than has heretofore found its way into most Supreme Court jurisprudence.
2007-04-2405 minWhat It Means to Be HumanCloning Double TalkOn this episode of Brave New Bioethics senior fellow Wesley J. Smith explains how a new bill introduced in the US Senate actually authorizing human cloning can yet be called a ban on cloning.
New congressional legislation that explicitly legalizes human cloning and also authorizes researchers to pay women to harvest their eggs for cloning research. The bill has been named by it’s sponsors, Senators Hatch and Feinstein, the Human Cloning Ban and Stem Cell Protection Act. Smith shows how they use definition sleight of hand to get away with it.
2007-04-0409 minWhat It Means to Be HumanHospice association abandons patient's best interests with refusal to denounce physician assisted suicideOn this episode of Brave New Bioethics, CSC senior fellow Wesley J. Smith looks at the newly release statement from the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine on the issue of physician assisted suicide in which they assume a position of neutrality. According to Smith their new position is both a cowardly act and a backdoor repudiation of a long established philosophy of hospice care in respecting each patient's life. Such terminal non-judgementalism is an abandonment of the hospice organization's professed goal of promoting proper hospice care and worse is an abandonment of patients whose lives depend on doctors...
2007-03-2207 minWhat It Means to Be HumanAnimal Rights LiberationistsOn this episode of Brave New Bioethics, Wesley J. Smith takes a look at how an anti-human agenda like that of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is capable of causing great human harm. In the story of Dr. Edward Taub, we find that animal rights liberationists who literally believe that animals are equal to human beings are a threat to scientific research and the health and wellness of many.
2007-03-0108 minWhat It Means to Be HumanTwo Different Views on Life, Loving and KillingOn this episode of BNB Smith highlights the stark difference between the attitudes of two men toward the weakest and most vulnerable among us, a difference that can be described literally as the distinction between loving and killing. The choice we make about such contrasting paths will determine whether we remain a moral society committed to the pursuit of universal human rights.
2006-12-1207 minWhat It Means to Be HumanAre We Defining A Brave New Future Where All Human Life Is Not Protected?Are we headed for a brave new world where unconscious people are treated as if they were simply biological machines? Wesley warns that we maybe headed down that path, even though today most people believe “that treating people as mere things violates the intrinsic dignity of the individual and the equal moral worth of all human life.” And yet prominent bioethicists and philosophers are contemplating, and even championing, ideas and legislation that could lead to a bleak future where human exceptionalism is ignored.
