    Another NZ Doctor Lifts the Lid on the Illusion of Euthanasia 'Choice'

    We’re told euthanasia is about choice. But what if that choice is shaped by loneliness, pressure, and a lack of real support? In this episode, we hear from a doctor with years of experience caring for patients at the end of life. Drawing from real conversations and frontline experience, he shares what he’s seen behind closed doors — where requests for assisted dying are often driven by fear of being a burden, isolation, loss of dignity, and gaps in care. This is not a theoretical debate. It’s a perspective from inside the room — where families, patients, and healthcare professionals are navigating some of the most complex and emotional decisions of life. Together, we explore: what patients are really afraid of at the end of life why “I don’t want to be a burden” matters more than we think how system pressures and lack of palliative care shape decisions the reality behind “choice” in assisted dying and what may be lost when death is shortened This episode offers a thoughtful, experience-based perspective on euthanasia and assisted dying — one that challenges common assumptions and invites deeper reflection on care, dignity, and what people truly need at the end of life. ❤️ Support the important pro-life work of Voice for Life at: www.voiceforlife.org.nz/donate Chapters (00:00:26) - The biggest driver behind euthanasia(00:08:14) - Euthanasia in the UK(00:17:39) - What do you think the value of a good death?(00:26:35) - Euthanasia: Should we allow assisted dying?(00:36:28) - Pulse: Care for the Dying
