Delaware has become the 12th U.S. state to legalize medical aid in dying. In this deeply personal episode of The Non-Prophets, the hosts discuss the hard-won passage of House Bill 140 and the dignity it affords terminally ill patients. They examine the safeguards, ethical debates, and religious opposition to such laws—and why support remains strong despite decades of resistance. This is a story of autonomy, compassion, and the right to choose a peaceful end.

WHAT IS THE NON-PROPHETS?
The Non-Prophets is a internet show airing at 06:00pm Central time Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday each week. Where we navigate through current events, providing a secular viewpoint that adds depth to the unfolding narrative.
The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.
We define atheism as the lack of belief in gods. This definition also encompasses what most people call agnosticism.
