"A male is always a male and a female is always a female. It's wrong to kill babies." Join us for a candid conversation with Dr. Stefan Pokall, a family physician and pediatric surgeon with 18 years of experience across Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. As both a medical professional and committed Catholic, Dr. Pokall offers crucial insights on today's most contentious bioethical issues. Our discussion explores:

• How gender ideology has infiltrated medical practice and education
• The concerning shift from treating gender disorders to affirming feelings
• Why Europe has begun to abandon puberty blocker therapy while North America lags behind
• The flawed scientific studies behind transgender medicine
• How abortion has become normalized within healthcare systems
• The challenges Catholic physicians face when standing by their convictions
• Finding hope and maintaining faith while practicing medicine in a secular world
• The demographic crisis resulting from decades of abortion and declining birth rates

Dr. Pokall shares personal experiences of navigating these ethical minefields while remaining true to his Catholic faith, including difficult encounters with transgender patients and his refusal to participate in abortion procedures during his medical training.

This episode reminds us that truth in medicine isn't relative, and that Catholic healthcare professionals must sometimes make difficult choices to uphold their values. For parents concerned about raising children in this cultural landscape, Dr. Pokall offers both caution and hope - emphasizing that we must prepare our families to recognize truth while remaining engaged with the world around us.
