Behind this devaluation of human life is the philosophy of utilitarianism and materialism. That philosophy is the heart of both Nazism and Communism: The value of an individual is measured by his or her usefulness to the group.

...That road to hell is being prepared by the U.S. film, literati and TV culture as well, using the same kinds of propaganda on life-and-death issues that were being foisted on the German public by the cultural elites of the Third Reich.

Thank God for an another excellent exposition for Terri and for Life. These lines reminded me of the 1981 film starring Richard Dreyfus, "Whose life is it anyway?" That was my first exposure to the pro-death propaganda. The pro-death crowd has gained much ground since then.

I often wonder - and literally ask the proponents of death on demand - why they don't start "decreasing the surplus population" and "easing society's burden" by taking their own lives instead of others'.

I have asked the same question myself.

I like the Dickens quote. I'll probably think of Terri this year when A Christmas Carol comes around and Scrooge's line resounds.
