Pope tells medical world in Lourdes: never serve programmed death
Original: Pope in Lourdes: 'Medicine must never be servant of programmed death'
During a visit to the French pilgrimage site of Lourdes, the Pope declared that medicine must never become a servant of programmed death, in remarks touching on euthanasia and end-of-life care. He framed medical practice as fundamentally oriented toward defending life and comforting the sick rather than hastening their passing, appealing to caregivers gathered at the major Catholic healing shrine.
Why now: Ongoing global debates over euthanasia and assisted dying make papal remarks on end-of-life medicine highly contested and newsworthy.
