Pope Francis speaks out against euthanasia

The catechesis of the general audience on Wednesday, February 9, focused on St. Joseph as the patron of the good death and the Christian perspective of eternal life. In this context, the Pope affirmed that "We must accompany until death, but not provoke it or contribute to any form of assisted suicide. Life is a right, not death, which must be welcomed, not administered. And this ethical principle concerns everyone, not only Christians or believers."
