"Physically healthy Dutch woman, 28, decides to be euthanized due to crippling depression." This headline has been making the rounds of news outlets and social media alike. How should we as Christians respond to a cultural push toward euthanasia for mental health? My guest hospice chaplain and pastor, Krag Runzi, relates his experience of ministering to those in the process of dying, explores the value of life and reflects on the tragedy of euthanasia.
