As “assisted suicide” laws rapidly expand across the United States, a prominent medical ethicist is sounding the alarm that policies promoted as “compassionate” solutions to suffering may unleash serious unintended consequences.
Dr. Lydia Dugdale, a physician and ethicist at Columbia University Medical Center, is warning that normalizing euthanasia risks fundamentally reshaping how society views life, suffering, and the care of vulnerable people.
Dugdale warns that euthanasia has “exploded” around the world as people increasingly accept suicide as an “easy” way to relieve the burden of caring for the sick and vulnerable.
“I can completely empathize with the sense that this is a very effective and efficient way to end suffering,” Dugdale told Fox News Digital.
