A fundamental element in this struggle to establish the common good is generosity with life, because selfishness with life is the consequence of the lack of hope, which is in turn due to a lack faith. This lack of faith and hope leads directly or indirectly to abortion, euthanasia and all sorts of aggressions against the family. This happens also because without a hopeful and strong view of the future grounded in the faith it is difficult to make the permanent commitment which is the essence of marriage.

Perfectly stated.

Nobody owns his life; no one has the right to euthanasia or assisted suicide.

I have a relative that lives near Dr. Kirvorkian ... aka "Doctor Death." That relative told me that "Most people think that Kervorkian is wrong, but no one wants to see him punished."

The same logic of dominion over life that leads to abortion serves as justification for euthanasia, assisted suicide, as well as contraception and artificial means of fertilization. If a person is capable of deciding on the life or death of the baby in the womb, that person could also make these same decisions over the life of a dying or disabled person under his or her legal care.

Excellent article. Pro-life is more than just anti-abortion. It encompasses life in its entirety.

Sorry, folks, but as a small-l libertarian I believe that I own my own life. If I want to end it or extend it through artificial means, that’s my own business. Self-ownership is fundamental, and non-negotiable for us.

I’ve been arguing this for years. There cannot be a property right vested in a person’s self; otherwise he is free to dispose of himself in any way he sees fit, including selling himself into slavery. We are warders of ourselves, not owners.

This is complete, unadulterated, utter BS. My life is my own. It belongs to no potentate, king, priest, government, or invisible man in the sky.

It is mine, and mine alone. As long as I do no direct harm to another person, unless in defense of my own life or property, no one has the right to tell me how to live or when or how to die.

The author of this piece is a weak minded fraud worthy only of ridicule by free human beings.

Period.

“no one has the right to euthanasia or assisted suicide”

I do and no one has any right to stop me!
