A Time to Die: Cultural and Faith Perspectives in the Face of Death: September 26, 2014 Face2Face Conversation

In a world that increasingly offers up promises of personal autonomy and control, how do we face our mortality?

CMU Lecturer in Philosophy, Justin Neufeld, Dr. Cornelius Woelk, Medical Director, Palliative Care at Southern Health-Santé Sud, and the Honourable Steven Fletcher, Progressive Conservative Member of Parliament for Charleswood-St. James-Assiniboia engage in interactive conversation exploring shifting cultural sentiments and the complexity of end-of-life issues, euthanasia, and physician-assisted suicide.

Minister Fletcher has initiated two private members’ bills on the floor of the Commons to prod elected MP’s into a national debate on the right to die.

CMU's Face2Face events are a series of conversations with CMU faculty and special guests designed to engage the community on a wide variety of current events and issues at the intersection of faith and life.
