About this episode

The episode discusses the declining birth rates in developed countries and the societal perception of the weak and ill, featuring insights from Nadya Williams on reaffirming the value of human life.

Why are so many developed countries seeing a “birth dearth?” Why are the week and the ill considered burdens to be disposed of? It’s because our society has lost sight of the very value of the human person. Nadya Williams joins us with a look at the roots of this ideological shift and how we can reaffirm the imago Dei of each person. This is a public episode.
