Euthanasia, Dying and the Dignity of Human Life
In response to a bill being introduced to the NSW Parliament in September to permit voluntary assisted euthanasia, the Diocese of Broken Bay and the Diocese of Parramatta are hosting a series of free online talks on euthanasia, dying and the dignity of human life.
Join in a conversation about suffering, care for the dying and the impact of euthanasia on society. Over a series of three weeks we will present online sessions examining these questions from a theological, medical, political and legal perspective.
Each talk is a 60 minute event starting at 7:30pm. The series is provided online via Zoom over three consecutive Mondays in August 2021.
Everyone is welcome to participate.
