Question Time: Euthanasia - Moral Decay?

SUMMARY:
------------------------------
I was at a lively Question Time focused on euthanasia and moral decline, and this clip captures the sparks flying. Audience members — including a representative from Right to Life NSW and Dr Brennan on the panel — press into two big issues: why the Hippocratic oath has largely disappeared from modern medical graduations and what the real-world consequences of assisted dying laws (with examples cited from Canada and Oregon) tell us about legalisation here. The discussion ranges from the historical role of physicians as both healers and executioners, to whether modern medical ethics replaced the old oath with something more pragmatic, to concerns about slippery slopes and whether the data used to justify reforms really stack up. It’s frank, sometimes messy, sometimes emotional, and very Australian in its bluntness. If you care about end-of-life law, medical ethics, or where society is heading, this is a must-watch snippet of public debate — and I want to hear your thoughts in the comments.

RUMBLE DESCRIPTION:
-----------------------------------
Caught this energetic Question Time session on camera — a passionate public discussion about euthanasia, the fading of the Hippocratic oath, and whether legalised assisted dying leads to moral decay. The audience put two sharp questions to the panel: first, why has the traditional Hippocratic oath largely disappeared from medical graduation ceremonies and what replaced it? Dr Brennan offers historical context about the separation of healer and executioner and the symbolic nature of oaths in medicine. Second, a Right to Life NSW representative and other attendees challenge the panel on assisted dying examples overseas — especially Canada and Oregon — asking if those outcomes undermine the case for reform here in Australia.

This isn’t a polished studio debate; it’s a grassroots, real-world exchange where history, law, ethics and personal conviction crash together. Expect interrupted sentences, passionate interruptions and honest uncertainty — that’s the point. If you’re interested in medical ethics, law reform, or end-of-life choices, this clip will make you think. Watch, share, and join the conversation: do you think legalisation inevitably leads to wider use? Did universities abandon the Hippocratic oath for a reason, and was it the right call?
