Who decides when a human life becomes valuable? That question sits behind nearly every major headline right now: Supreme Court shield-law fights over abortion pills crossing state lines, and a case out of the Netherlands where a two-year-old child was euthanized. In this special extended episode, we host Truth Talk Live on the Truth Network for a full hour on the sanctity of human life.
Let’s work through the real issue underneath abortion and euthanasia debates: ownership. Does God hold the copyright on life, or do we? We walk through Psalm 139 and what it means that every person is fearfully and wonderfully made, and take calls from a high school teacher navigating these questions with students, a man asking how to speak up without coming across as harsh, a disability advocate on why quality of life was never meant to be measured by ease, and a retired pain management physician with a sobering look at how hospice and opioids are handled at the end of life.
