Discovery Science | Medicine's Descent From Healing to Killing - An Interview with Dr. Richard Weikart @DiscoveryScienceChannel | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
If we believe there is no qualitative distinction between animals and humans, are we more likely to protect human life or devalue it? On this episode of ID The Future, host Eric Anderson talks to historian Dr. Richard Weikart about his latest book, Unnatural Death: Medicine’s Descent From Healing to Killing, now available from Discovery Institute Press. The book is a wide-ranging history of euthanasia and assisted suicide from Ancient Greece to today.
In this conversation, Dr. Richard Weikart explains how his new book builds on his previous work on the decline of respect for the sanctity of human life and the connection between Adolf Hitler’s actions and evolutionary ethics. He covers the origins and changing definitions of euthanasia, the devaluation of life in antiquity, the influence of secularization and Darwinism on attitudes towards euthanasia, and the Nazi regime’s euthanasia program. Dr. Weikart also addresses the justifications for euthanasia and offers suggestions for upholding the sanctity of human life.
