What does a lifetime spent caring for others teach us about the value of human life?

In this first episode of Beyond the Turning Point, I speak with Dr Khalid Shibib, a physician and humanitarian whose career has taken him into places where questions of responsibility, suffering and human dignity are not abstract.

We reflect on the choices that shape a professional life, the responsibility that comes with it, and what years of working closely with human suffering can teach us about equality, purpose and the value we place on another person’s life.

The Value of Human Life is a conversation about medicine and humanitarian work, but also about something more fundamental: what we come to believe about people and how those beliefs shape the choices we make.
