Why not let them speak for themselves, in their old age when they have a perspective from which to formulate an educated answer?
"The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born."
Mark 14:21 (NIV)
Unbelievable. I wonder if she would apply the same reasoning to, say, the spotted owl. Or the snail darter. Or the Polar Bears. Hell, you could even employ the same argument about About life on earth in general.
God meant for life to happen, only men try to concoct reasons why God is wrong.
Life is better then no life, regardless of the quality of that life.
Who are we to claim we know what the future has in store for those who suffer debilitating diseases or less than what we consider quality life.
What if a child stopped from living could be the one to come up with a cure for cancer?
It is always the right thing to let God be the one who opens and closes the womb, and allow life to happen.
What a ridiculous, arrogant statement. To say existence is "bad" for anyone would need infinite wisdom, which this clown certainly does not have.
Caring for the weak, the sick, the elderly, children, etc., is the very essence of civilization.
Take that away, and what do you have left? A group of people justifying savagery on the grounds that their ability to get away with it, justifies it. Nothing less than the law of the jungle, where sociopaths and mass murderers are given authority because their depravities are declared their successes.
They didn’t dig deep enough. Good or bad, better or not better, worthy or not worthy, according to what (and whose) standard? Taking a position on one or the other without agreeing on a standard doesn’t go far.
