Maria Selbekk

Maria Selbekk is a prominent Norwegian advocate and the General Secretary of Menneskeverd, an organization focused on human dignity and ethical issues surrounding life and death. She is a vocal critic of the media's portrayal of euthanasia and assisted dying, arguing that it often leans towards propaganda rather than fostering a balanced discussion. Selbekk emphasizes the need for a comprehensive public debate on end-of-life choices that respects individual autonomy and the diverse experiences of patients, particularly those facing terminal illnesses. Her advocacy aims to modernize existing legal frameworks to accommodate varying definitions of dignity and self-determination in life’s final stages.
