Navigating the Smartphone Dilemma

This week, Scott is joined by Erik Thoennes, Professor of Theology at Talbot School of Theology.

• Assisted Suicide and the Slippery Slope: A New York Times op-ed warns that limiting euthanasia to the terminally ill won’t last; cultural emphasis on autonomy may push boundaries further.

• Listener Question: Can Biola Be Trusted?
• Listener Followup on AI Chatbots in Medicine
