Thanks for your contibution. Clearly this is a pro-life thread, but I hope I've made it clear that beyond the question in moral law of what care we owe the helpless, this thread is also a reflection on the mortal danger of moral pride, even when it masquerades as gratitude, and our desperate need for humility -- including our desperate need to be MADE helpless, if nothing else will do.
I have been there ... I found it was His infinite love for me (the me of no value I can discern) that brought me to the helpless state where I could only reach for His hand, and His hand is always there for His children 'for them He so justified He also glorified' so the Glory is His that we wear by His Grace.
