I was thinking about this very same thing today.

The flip side is medical advances..think premature babies; just 40 years ago babies that today are routinely saved, (and not even considered as extremely premature), often died. Should we not have tried to save them?

We push the medical envelope and gain knowledge and advances..some good, but some very bad.

But if we stop trying, or for example..decide like the Peter Singers of the world that all spina bifida babies should die....how will we ever cure spina bifida?

We can pray. and hope that our men and women in medicine do the same.

You're #250 was very well stated, and you're right. There is a flip side to my question. If these questions were easy, the debate wouldn't be so impassioned. As I told another poster, my question about God's mercy was limited strictly to severe head injury.
