1- Your body is a Temple of the Holy Spirit.
2- The only unforgivable sins are those against the Holy Spirit.
3- I’d rather do all of my suffering on this side of the veil.
4- If you think you have no price to pay, you need further Wisdom.
Are you saying that those who feel despair are evil?
Ringa-Ding-Ding! We have a winner!
That is the Ultimate Goal of all their plans isn't it?
They have wanted that since the very beginning.
In fact, they cheered it on, Look up the Origin of the Phrase "Can't Break an Omelet without breaking some eggs"
>The Progressives want the “Right to Die” to become the “Duty to Die”<
.
The “Duty to Die” only for the non-progressives.
“...where the elderly as well as newborn babies deemed unworthy of hospital resources are being sentenced to death by dehydration.
Hitler and his henchmen used to call this “Life unworthy of life”. Nice to know the libtards are showing their true colors—and apparently that’s the black, white and red of the NAZI philosophy.
Better be prepared to defend yourself from the tyrannical tsunami.
It was said the family wished the death to be at a certain time, so that the morning papers would have the news. It was put out that the king's last words were "How stands the Empire now?". Another unofficial account claimed "the the old sailor, opened his eyes and said Damn you!" This as they were injecting him and his last words.
I remember talk even as far back as the 1940's about patients being elderly and with Parkinson's disease, being deprived of fluids. Common knowledge, but little if any proof.
I emigrated to Canada from England over fifty years ago and I am not sorry.
when life has no valuethen anything goes, welcome to humans becoming animals
In a sane world, the doctors and nurses responsible would be going to the gallows, or at least to jail.
Too bad the world is no longer sane.
Eugenics is all the rage. “Who wants to go first? No takers? Ok, we’ll select by committee”. - signed, B. H. Obama
“Why Not Suicide?”
Because it’s a sin? Wait, do we still use that word?
Her reasoning is “sound” only if you accept her presupposition that her life is of little to no value.
Take away that presupposition and she makes no sense.
The fact is, we are of value, to God of course, and also to many others. Some, we don’t even know how important we are to them.
What is better for a 50 year old man? To see his mother kill herself, or to see her loved and cared for and respected and enjoyed until the true end of her days?
Our deaths affect so many people. Her reasoning assumes the opposite.
Nevermind the practical results; gay marriage isn’t an issue of liberty at all. No one’s stopping them from having sex, cohabitating, vowing to spend their lives together, raising children, etc. What they’re asking for is the state to intervene and grant them special status. Which has nothing to do with liberty.
Isn’t everything President Bush’s fault? /saercasm>
You’re off on two counts. Firstly, the Schiavo case was not about whether ir not she was going to die, but who had the right to make decisions for her. You can’t say it’s the parents just because you want her to live. Either they were next of kin or not, and they were not. Secondly, it was none of Bush the Younger’s business, certainly. Since when do presidents stick their noses in state family law? It wasn’t really any if Jeb’s business either, but the business of the courts.
“Despair is a great sin”
I wouldn’t say that, as it’s not really a choice. Your actions leave you more or less likely to possess it, and once you have it the only way out, really, is deliberative. Coincidentally I am reading Kierkegaard’s “The Sickness Unto Death,” which is about despair and describes it as a sickness of the soul.
Suicide is wrong because life is sacred.
To underscore that ultimate value, we go to extraordinary lengths to prevent life from being cheapened. When life is cheapened, everyone’s life is in jeopardy.
The less the powers that be infringe upon us and into our business the better off we are, imo. Others may differ as is their right.
You can consider the feeling of despair a type of temptation
“Youre forgetting one Bush: Jeb. Jeb Bush tried to save Terri Schaivo.”
Not at all, in my book.
He could have taken protective custody.
