A Lesson from the Life and Death of Terri Schiavo
Topics: Terri Schiavo's Life MattersI missed this important piece at Blogicus the other day, but it's a right-on post that addresses a topic that should interest all of us - the view of our courts and our society towards the value of human life. We are all going to continue to hear much more about this and feel it's footsteps as we approach what I believe to be best described as a culture of death for the unhealthy or un-productive and life for only the fit and productive. It is a faithless, materialistic, secular, and relativistic approach to the value of the beautiful God-given mystery that we call life.
Regardless of our faith, we need to all work together to reverse the dangerous and potentially disasterous effects on all of our lives and the lives of generations to come. Whether it's abortion, assisted suicide, or food and water being categorized as "extraordinary medical care," it's all just plain vanilla checkbook euthanasia or murder of the innocent and infirmed for the convenience of the fit and productive!

This evolution follows from the belief that human life derives its worth based on its characteristics and utilitarian benefit as determined, of course, by others in society.
