Does "sick newborn babies" include those who have a genetic tendency to become liberals or Islamic death cult members?
Note to self... take a deep breath and grammer/spell check posts, especially when responding to threads where you want to choke the living daylights out of the articles targets...
Government is now capitalized but God is not. That is the message between the lines. It is now considered quaint and old fashioned to defend life. The government is accepted by all to be the final arbiter in this decision.
The secularists will eventually win all disputes because government gives ordinary citizens benefits and laws while God just promises eternal life. Benefits and laws are tangible while religious mores, morals and promises are intangible. The "golden calf" remains an object of worship only it is not called that.
I'm guessing that insurance companies would pay parents to allow the disabled to die. They just haven't had the societal cover to step forward yet with their offers of blood money.
The same with the elderly, severely ill, and infirm.
"Hi, Mr. Smith, I'm with Met Health Insurance and we need to talk about how your NOT receiving care for cancer could result in your heirs receiving benefits that would insure their financial security long after your passing. That would be some wonderful gift for you to leave for them, wouldn't it, Mr. Smith?"
I know if I had a child who was born with some type of defect that was going to kill them very quickly, I would not want that child to be hooked up to every machine possible to keep him/her alive for a few days or weeks. I would put it into God's hands and trust him to do what he knows is best. If the child dies, then they would be in heaven. If God decided to heal the child, then I would be grateful beyond words.
That said, I would not advocate killing a child because they're blind, deaf, missing an arm or leg, or something along those lines. That would be murder.
I would like for him to imagine Jesus, Himself standing right next to him, and then saying that out loud!
Response: Pretty scary!

The rest of us may then struggle on as best we can unhindered with their anguished cries.

If you want on (or off) this Catholic and Pro-Life ping list, let me know!
I agree with you.
OMG, a terrible developement in the Anglican Church.
I don't think so. The example they used was of a child that is now THREE years old.
But, it wouldn't matter.
God is the only one who decides between life and death. If we do the right thing and try to help, that baby will not live one second longer nor one second less than God will decide.
Our job is to respond to the "good works that God has prepared ahead of time for us to do."
The Times of London's article was vague about the authority of this submission, making it appear that this bishop might have written it on his own hook. But this article makes it appear that the bishop's submission has considerable authority as being the Church of England's position.
Utterly damnable.
I'd change my will so fast it'd make your head spin!
"This is for Brit and Aussie Freepers how mighty Church that Henry VIII founded has fallen"
It needs to fall a little more before Prince Charles will be a worthy king and defender of the faith....
Doublespeak for on the wrong side of the cost-benefit ratio.
The cost-benefit ratio is all that the so-called medical ethics people are talking about these days.
see #33
That is one of the funniest things I've read/thought about in a while. Prince Charles being 'THE' Defender of the Faith. What's next Bozo The Clown being elevated to be the Pope?
As Terri Shrivo would say if she could, if you're disabled they'll pull your life support plug to kill you and if you don't die then they'll figure out some other way to kill you,( in my case it was starvation ) !!!
