don't know if you know this but that's like a common argument for you do you
00:00:02.940
know eugenics is okay it's basically like trying to get like a more pure
00:00:10.920
population so a lot of people would like a lot of people would do that through
00:00:17.320
like a through what would they say so Planned Parenthood in the u.s. was
00:00:23.640
started by a racist and basically her whole plan was to abort they put abortion
00:00:31.060
clinics in like the black community there and then also in low-income areas
00:00:35.580
and then like disabled like she felt like you need to get like a more pure
00:00:39.260
population so when you say like should you abort disabled kids it's kind of an
00:00:43.620
argument for eugenics but I mean I don't think you actually think that but that's
00:00:48.840
just yeah go ahead good roof out of interest if you yourself experienced
00:00:56.640
something in life that left you in a position where you were unable to look
00:00:59.700
after yourself and you were unable to speak and I'm going to communicate and
00:01:03.480
able to be able-bodied do you believe in I think I'm saying this right is it
00:01:08.160
euthanasia when you're allowed to oh my god is that the correct word see it's hard
00:01:13.280
I don't like don't think I believe in euthanasia but if I couldn't move oh my
00:01:17.320
god like what would you do at that end so like as a as a being that has like
00:01:22.660
moved through certain stages of like human development for again what's for a
00:01:27.760
better word would you yourself at the end of it would you still continue to
00:01:33.580
desire to be alive despite the fact that you had no ability to continue
00:01:37.960
experiencing life as you previously had like do you believe in euthanasia at the
00:01:42.160
opposite end of life also or is it just that yeah yeah or is it just that they're
00:01:45.960
beginning of the human creation I personally believe that every human
00:01:52.180
being is made in the image of God so that we all have we're gifted with with
00:01:57.340
value and we have purpose and our reason for being is outside about ourselves our
00:02:03.440
own there's a higher purpose and so yeah personally I'm not saying these things
00:02:08.880
are easy but yeah I would I would say I'd have to trust God and you would like out of no
00:02:15.460
choice of your own continued like you wouldn't have a choice but to be alive
00:02:19.840
but if someone close to you was in that situation and you knew that there and they
00:02:24.320
had expressed verbally their decision or like and their desire maybe is about a
00:02:30.280
word to want to be and again like I'm gonna use the words put down just because I
00:02:35.600
don't know about a phrase for it at the opposite end of of the human creation is
00:02:39.680
that something like someone that was close to you if they become severely disabled is it something
00:02:47.200
that you would respect as of their wish because they was able to communicate it and it was put
00:02:51.380
on them as a choice or is that still regardless for you a non-mover like no matter what communication
00:03:00.000
had received like even if someone you love had explained to you really deeply that they didn't
00:03:04.700
want to be alive if they were within a certain state and they chose verbally to you confirmed
00:03:10.480
that they did not want to be alive and wanted to continue down the euthanasian I don't know if
00:03:14.160
that's the plural for it process would is that something that you would uh respect or is that
00:03:19.780
something that you would still strongly disagree with just funnily enough um my grandmother when she
00:03:24.860
was alive she she used to express um that she wished she could go to switzerland it's always
00:03:32.360
switzerland yeah she said that like because she at the end I mean she it wasn't like a long long long
00:03:39.960
drawn out one but she made comments like that but um because then it would be her choice right
00:03:47.560
it wouldn't be well I think that's the highest suicide I don't want to misquote this but I'm pretty
00:03:52.120
sure that's like the highest suicide rate is among the elderly and that's not always um recorded
00:03:57.540
because um it sometimes it's like I slipped and felt you know yeah they just get classified as old
00:04:03.100
age right yeah yeah no I just I just think there's always hope where I think there's always hope you
00:04:09.280
know there is I'm not saying these are not easy situations but I think that there is pain relief there
00:04:17.040
is um when when someone is in those um difficult situations it's an opportunity for people around
00:04:23.400
them to just show love to show compassion to care for and yeah I just I just believe in life and I
00:04:31.640
believe in hope so even if it who had a verbal confirmation of choice from a I could never
00:04:36.460
support you would never intentionally killing yeah I could never even if it's for self for myself
00:04:42.720
as in like like that person has said I would like to die you know I would like to end my life
00:04:48.420
it's suicide isn't it it's just yeah I'm a lot of people want to die because of self pain like
00:04:54.460
internal pain but that can that could be a method for that some people some people can try things
00:05:00.880
some people don't get the right information and I feel like that's where a lot of people get lost
00:05:04.600
I've worked in mental health for a long time and that's all I heard I want to die I want to die I
00:05:08.500
want to die but actually when you give them certain methods and um you help them process the information
00:05:13.960
and in their thoughts um they actually change their mind so I think it's you know someone that wants to
00:05:19.760
kill themselves not like they want to actually kill themselves they either want to change who they are
00:05:24.160
or they want to the pain or whatever they're going through to stop yeah yeah so um I'm curious um so for
00:05:32.420
the people that are pro-choice if you guys saw new information would would you ever change your mind
00:05:39.860
on that issue like raise your hand if you would what sort of information sorry I don't know science
00:05:45.800
I guess like if we would then go against abortion yeah like would is this an issue you'd ever change
00:05:50.680
your mind on so you would never change your mind you would never change your mind you I think it's
00:05:56.180
always like good to be open to new information I don't think I would ever willingly dismiss an
00:06:00.880
information source before I had witnessed it I think it's always good as a human being to actually
00:06:06.560
reassess your beliefs otherwise you're just like you're just standing by your ego basically I think
00:06:10.980
it's always good to keep that in check okay what about you two I feel like it's very situation based
00:06:17.980
so the science I don't know what new science would uh change because the science doesn't change like
00:06:24.640
the situation that brought the abortion about so I feel like again yeah it's very situational
00:06:34.960
depends on like the actual circumstances the mother is in rather than what science actually has to say
00:06:42.580
about it so so no I'm I'm open to new you're open you would you would listen yeah I would listen to it
00:06:49.640
and I'll talk about it but like again it would it would be hard because you think there's certain
00:06:54.360
situations that like you would have a hard time telling someone they couldn't get an abortion in
00:06:59.120
exactly okay I understand what about you I don't think any of us should say what someone else like
00:07:05.660
when it's someone else's choice to become a mum if you want to keep the baby because you don't think
00:07:11.360
abortions right then that's your choice okay so you you would never change your mind on that okay
00:07:16.020
um well today we're gonna try um so you have a video oh no I'm I no sorry what I don't want to
00:07:24.960
oh okay it's um you can go it's okay um but um yeah if you have a video you want to show
00:07:32.420
right okay could you show the next video Paul just quickly what's your position on this
00:07:38.040
oh I'm I mean I'm pro-life but um I heard an interesting argument the other day that made
00:07:44.840
me think um it was like by destiny where he it was something with like brain function
00:07:50.640
so I will say like you know I could be more educated on the science so that's that's actually
00:07:55.880
why she came on my show the other day and I just thought it'd be interesting to like learn what they
00:07:59.280
had to say and it changed recently what your opinion changed no I'm still pro-life I'm still pro-life but
00:08:06.780
it was just an interesting argument where I was like um I'd have to find the video but it was by
00:08:12.000
destiny he was doing like pro-life pro-choice and destiny's such a good debater and I was just like
00:08:16.680
oh I've never thought about it that way but no I'm still I wouldn't say I changed my mind I'm still pro-life
00:08:22.320
as many of you know I was just banned on tick tock and we are demonetized on a daily basis on this
