    S4E6 - Dignity or Deception? Unmasking the Global Push for Assisted Suicide — with Dr Susan Marriott

    There’s a bill in UK Parliament right now that’s being sold as compassionate and dignified — but what’s really behind it? In this gripping episode of Under the Rug, Nalini Tranquim sits down with Dr Susan Marriott, Head of Public Policy at the Christian Medical Fellowship, to unpack the truth about the End of Life Bill — and how similar legislation is spreading across the globe. What begins as a discussion about the UK quickly expands into a global wake-up call: Australia has legalised assisted dying across every state. The U.S. is following suit in states like New York and Florida. And what takes root in the first world will inevitably ripple into the developing world. This episode is a prophetic confrontation of a culture of death — cloaked in the language of “choice” and “compassion.” The Church must rise. We must speak life. 🔥 PUNCHY TAKEAWAYS: “What the world calls compassion is often just convenience.”“A bill like this doesn’t offer choice — it shifts the burden onto the vulnerable.”“Once you legalise death as healthcare, you’ve crossed a dangerous line.”“This is spiritual warfare masquerading as healthcare reform.” Get early access to future episodes by joining the email list: https://nalinitranquim.com/sign-up#UnderTheRugPodcast ---------- 📩 Want more inspiring content like this?
