“Do No Harm” Now Has Exceptions | Do No Harm, Ep. 3
What happens when a right to die becomes a duty to die? For more than 2,000 years, medicine held that a physician must never intentionally kill.
Episode 3, “Bioethics: Abortion and Euthanasia” examines what happens when that line gives way. Physicians discuss how language is used to set aside certain human beings, why abortion has historically been seen as ethically problematic for the profession, and how physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia have expanded wherever they’ve been legalized, with Canada as a case study. They also ask what pressure these practices place on the sick, the disabled, and the elderly.
“Do No Harm: A Crisis in Medical Ethics” is a four-part series from Hillsdale College on our current crisis in medicine. Subscribe and turn on notifications so you don’t miss each episode when they air.
Episode four drops Thursday, November 19th.

Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.
