Wesley J. Smith

Wesley J. Smith, a Senior Fellow at the Discovery Institute and a bioethics expert, discusses the troubling shift toward legalization of assisted suicide in America, particularly with a bill in Illinois. He highlights how this shift undermines anti-suicide efforts, revealing a concerning societal trend towards eliminating suffering by any means. Smith critiques a recent JAMA article advocating for compassionate releases of violent criminals, questioning its implications for victim rights and medical ethics. His insights underscore the dangers of ideological biases in medical discourse.
