The church stressed that it was not saying some lives were not worth living, but said there were "strong proportionate reasons" for "overriding the presupposition that life should be maintained". The bishop's submission continued: "There may be occasions where, for a Christian, compassion will override the 'rule' that life should inevitably be preserved.
"Disproportionate treatment for the sake of prolonging life is an example of this.
The church said it would support the potentially fatal withdrawal of treatment only if all alternatives had been considered, "so that the possibly lethal act would only be performed with manifest reluctance."

So God's Will and His Greater Plan be damned, is that it?

What would they have done with the man born blind in the Gospel of John?

Being on that side of the pond, what's your take on this?
To: xzins
I wonder how these church leaders are going to explain this on Judgment Day?

The UK has been on a gradual religous delcine - much like the rest of Europe. It'll be their downfall due to the lack of values and morals ... Have your women been measured for burkas recently?

How soon before the church starts performing abortions?
To: xzins
So, as society, we are back to Sparta in ancient Greece, where the infirm elderly, the sick, the disabled, the babies no one wants, are brought to a hillside and left to die. Abortion and euthanasia are the precursors of these travesties and they are already upon us here in the United States.
May God have mercy!!!

You've got to be cruel to be kind. Sometimes, love hurts. This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you. Charity, Christian love, (Caritas), demands that we do not help you.
So, now at least we can fix a price on human life. Let's start the bidding at 10 pounds.... do I hear 20?

the high financial cost of keeping desperately ill babies alive should be a factor in life or death decisions.
Their concept is that the human costs too much so they must be destroyed. What's the view on capital punishment for murderers over there? If you want to be homicidal why stop with babies. That bishop is probably ugly as hell and should be terminated as well.

Evil is as evil does. What don't this freaking idiots understand about that?
To: xzins
If we lose the value that human life has both sanctity and dignity and that only God can play God, I think we are finished.

The Church Of England is post-Christian. The Cross has been emptied in England of both spiritual and ethical import.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
