“Teach us to remember that we must die, that we may be wise.” (Psalm 90:12) Dr. Wolfgang Rathmann describes for us the situation on assisted situation in various European countries. He highlights some of the different issues and arguments and gives an example from Belgium which has had assisted suicide since 2002. He also shows that those who are suffering psychologically can be tempted to think about euthanasia, whereas with good care their life can be improved. To finish, he leads us in prayer.
