A beautiful post. I have written before on Terri threads about a dear friend of mine who has a severely disabled daughter (now in mid-20s) who also cannot speak, feed or care for herself. This daughter is also dearly loved, and loves in return. For people to equate intellect or skill level with human worth is akin to the philosophy of eugneics. Only humans with certain abilities, skill, intelligence, or proper race are valuable; others should be killed.

This shallow, cruel view of human worth is based on the materialistic idea that people are just the body; merely an accidental group of chemicals and electrical connections.

The spiritual view is that the real identity of the human being is an eternal soul, which is inhabiting the body, and is of infinite worth, no matter what the condition of the body.
