Pope says medicine must never serve programmed death
Original: Pope in Lourdes: 'Medicine must never be servant of programmed death'
The Pope, during a visit to the French shrine town of Lourdes, declared that 'medicine must never be servant of programmed death', a pointed comment on debates over euthanasia and assisted dying. The remark came in the context of the shrine's association with healing and pilgrimage, and it signals the Vatican's continued opposition to legalised ending of life on medical grounds.
Why now: Ongoing debates over euthanasia and assisted dying laws in Europe give the Pope's words immediate relevance.
