Cultural Update: Regretting Smartphones; Can Moms Have It All?; Assisted Suicide and the Slippery Slope

This week, Scott is joined by Erik Thoennes, Professor of Theology at Talbot School of Theology. 

• Smartphone Regret Among Parents: A new survey reveals most parents regret giving their kids smartphones and social media too early—many now see platforms like TikTok and Snapchat as more harmful than alcohol or even guns. 
• Assisted Suicide and the Slippery Slope: A New York Times op-ed warns that limiting euthanasia to the terminally ill won’t last; cultural emphasis on autonomy may push boundaries further. 
• Can Moms Really Have It All?: A new wave of voices—this time from the political right—encourage women to pursue careers and motherhood. 
• Listener Question: Can Biola Be Trusted?
• Listener Followup on AI Chatbots in Medicine
• Listener Question: Should I Be Worried That My Teen Is Drawn to Catholicism?
