    Officials And Media Silent About Euthanasia Case That Violated NZ Law

    In this episode we speak to bioethics commentator Brendan Malone about the shocking case of a NZ doctor who euthanised a patient without the legally required review, and using the lethal dosage that had approved for a completely different patient’s euthanasia. Despite the case being serious enough to spark an internal review and urgent policy changes around lethal dosage tracking, there has been zero media coverage. ❤️ Support the important pro-life work of Voice for Life at: www.voiceforlife.org.nz/donate ‼️ Read our exclusive investiation: www.voiceforlife.org.nz/media/voice-for-life-investigation-nz-doctor-performed-euthanasia-without-legally-required-review-using-another-patients-expired-drugs Chapters (00:00:26) - Investigation Findings: Expired Lethal Drugs Used Without Review(00:01:47) - Responding to Facebook Comments: 'Personal Choice' Arguments(00:06:21) - Doctors as State-Licensed Agents of Killing(00:10:05) - Is There a 'Right to Die'?(00:12:04) - Claims of 'Claptrap' and Moral Illiteracy(00:13:57) - Secrecy, Transparency, and Naming Names(00:16:29) - Are Safeguards Actually Working?(00:19:22) - Netherlands Case Study: Consent Violated(00:22:07) - Tracking Lethal Drugs in the Community(00:26:44) - Media Silence and Promotion of Euthanasia(00:29:34) - Oversight Committee Dysfunction(00:31:56) - Parallel with Abortion Legislation Oversight Failures(00:34:05) - Psychiatric Assessment Safeguards Eroding(00:36:10) - Lack of Prosecution: Police Discretion Questioned(00:39:32) - Medical Council Double Standards(00:42:02) - Legal Immunity for Euthanasia Practitioners(00:47:24) - Calls for Stronger Oversight Panels and Pro-Suicide Advocates(00:50:49) - Cost, Burden, and the Darkening of Societal Values(00:58:05) - Closing Thoughts: What's Next and Call to Action

    Chosen To Love - A Story of Adoption and Hope

    In this episode of The Pulse Podcast, we share the powerful story behind one of New Zealand’s most overlooked options—adoption. Charlie’s life began in circumstances many would consider impossible. Conceived in violence and born with a life-threatening heart condition, he was given little chance of survival. Yet today, he is thriving—because one mother chose life, and another family chose to say yes. Through this deeply personal conversation, we explore the reality of open adoption in New Zealand, the emotional cost and beauty of fostering, and why adoption remains a rarely presented option despite its life-changing impact. This episode challenges some of the underlying assumptions in today’s culture—particularly the belief that suffering should be avoided at all costs. As Charlie’s adoptive mother reflects, “there are precious jewels to be found in the deep mines of suffering.” At its heart, this is a story of courage, loss, healing, and hope—and a compelling reminder that even in the most difficult circumstances, good can emerge. ❤️ Support the important pro-life work of Voice for Life at: www.voiceforlife.org.nz/donate Chapters (00:00:00) - Charlie's story of adoption in New Zealand(00:05:20) - Why did you start fostering and adopting?(00:08:06) - Charlie's adoption from New Zealand(00:09:42) - Open Adoption in New Zealand(00:13:30) - The process of adoption in New Zealand(00:15:19) - Charlie the Adoption Baby(00:18:21) - The Pulse

    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
