You're listening to Breakpoint this week, where we're talking about the top stories of the week from a Christian worldview.

Today we're going to talk about the new suicide pods in Switzerland. The first person has used that to die and she was an American woman.

We're also going to talk about Israel's attack on Hezbollah in Lebanon using pagers, and how that fits

into a Christian idea of just war theory.

So we have a lot to get to today.

We're so glad you're with us.

Please stick around.

Welcome to Breakpoint this week.

From the Coulson Center for Christian

worldview. I'm Maria Bear alongside John Stone Street president of the Coulson

Center. John we have some heavy stuff to talk about this week but the first story

that I want to get your input on is coming out of Switzerland.

So I believe it was this past week or last week.

I don't know that we have an exact date, but the first person ever to die using the so-called suicide pod

died sometime in the last several days.

And she actually was a American woman. The closest identifying

markers we have is that she was an American woman from the Midwest who was

64 years old and she traveled to Switzerland in order to use this machine

Which is called a Sarko

Capsul which is short for sarcophagus which is just incredibly dark

But some company developed this thing,

you get in and you push a button and it releases nitrogen.
