Pope in Lourdes condemns medically programmed death
Original: Pope in Lourdes: 'Medicine must never be servant of programmed death'
Speaking during a visit to the French shrine of Lourdes, Pope Francis said medicine must never become the servant of programmed death, a remark widely read as a rejection of euthanasia and assisted dying. The comments came at one of the Catholic Church's most important pilgrimage sites, which is closely associated with healing and care for the sick.
Why now: The Pope's remarks on euthanasia and end-of-life care touch an active debate on assisted dying in Europe and beyond.
