He contrasts the historical Dutch resistance to Nazi euthanasia policies with their later embrace of assisted dying, warning that Canada now leads the world in patient euthanasia. Dr. Patrick argues that Western civilization's retreat from Judeo-Christian foundations has created a crisis of meaning and authority, affecting everything from medical ethics to judicial decisions. He concludes by sharing his vision for creating communities where people can 'die well' - places focused on reconciliation and spiritual preparation rather than hastened death. 🎬 Watch the video version: https://youtu.be/sJW_qJrDJyU // LINKS // Website…
