"The "reality" of this "issue" is that we, as a society, have just lowered the value of human life several more notches.
We murder the unborn for convenience; we murder the almost born for convenience; we murder the elderly for convenience; and now, we murder the infirm for convenience."
This issue has nothing to do with abortion. (Which I am against, BTW) Also, can you provide an example of the elderly being murdered for convenience?
Also can you provide evidence that Terri was murdered for "convenience"? Considering the legal battle, the convenient and easy thing for Michael to do would have been to just step off and walk away, sign an annulment and be done with it.
"How is it that we have the temerity to judge our "advanced" culture to be better than that of the Nazis, or the Stalinist, or the Maoists, or for that matter... the Islamic terrorists?"
You know the answer to that, you don't need me to tell you. And if you don't, I can't help you.
