Human trafficking discussion with Allie Martinez

Presented by Allie Martinez, Human Trafficking Task Force of Saginaw County and hosted by Mark Graveline, Coordinator of Youth Ministry for the Diocese of Saginaw.

Please note: Due to technical difficulties, the audio quality was poor for Father Adam Maher's portions of the podcast. We were only able to use the last minute of his audio which included a closing prayer. We wanted to share at least the audio from Allie Martinez and Mark Graveline.  

The dignity of the human person who is suffering and seeking assisted suicide

Today’s topic, “Witness to the dignity of the human person who is suffering and seeking assisted suicide." Presented by Father Bob Byrne, Senior Priest and Moral Theology Instructor, Diocese of Saginaw and Dr. Cherie Sammis, Director of Ethics Integration for Ascension Healthcare.

Through stories and conversations, difficult questions and struggles surface as we care for our loved ones and as they suffer at the end of life.

What does compassionate care look like? What are the ethical questions of assisted suicide? How do we preserve the dignity of the person as they die?
