Responsibility to Care: What Euthanasia Victims Can Teach Us

Bobby Schindler, M.S., brother of Terri Schiavo and president of the Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network, will lead an evening of prayer, remembrance, and hope in the face of America’s increasing embrace of euthanasia and assisted suicide.

This is a lively and life-affirming panel conversation with Bobby Schindler and Wesley J. Smith, JD, National Review Online contributor and author of “Culture of Death: The Age of ‘Do Harm’ Medicine”.

Bobby Schindler shares first-hand experiences and lessons from his fight for his sister Terri, as well as the fights for Charlie Gard, Alfie Evans, Jahi McMath, Vincent Lambert, and others. Fr. Petri and Wesley Smith share insights on Catholic responses to euthanasia and assisted suicide, as well as latest developments and trends likely to impact all families in the future.
