Euthanasia Rejection in Slovenia: Incomplete Victory Amidst Theological Bankruptcy
EWTN News reports (Nov. 26, 2025) that Slovenian voters rejected euthanasia legislation by 53.43% in a referendum, blocking a bill passed four months earlier by Parliament. The Slovenian Bishops’ Conference opposed the measure, citing Article 17 of Slovenia’s Constitution guaranteeing life’s inviolability. Archbishop Stanislav Zore welcomed the outcome as evidence of “God at work,” while conservative groups denounced euthanasia as undermining human dignity. The rejected bill would have permitted mentally competent terminally ill patients to self-administer life-ending drugs after approval by two doctors.
