(LifeNews.com) – I once heard a preacher say that you become what you worship. This is difficult to dispute as we witness a nation increasingly willing to consent to a culture of death rather than embrace the blessings that come from caring for our most vulnerable in our society.
Historically, prejudice against those deemed physically or mentally inferior has often led to efforts to eliminate them. However, this belief is not only confined to the past. Though perhaps less overtly, we are once again repeating history.
It is undeniable that the killing of the vulnerable has taken a firm hold in our culture, ranging from the legal dehydration and starvation of the brain-injured and elderly – including my sister, Terri Schiavo – to the steady expansion of doctor-assisted suicide.
All of this is sold as mercy, compassion, “dying with dignity,” and, most commonly, the claim that we must relieve “suffering.” Make no mistake: doctor-assisted suicide is the practice in which a physician prescribes lethal drugs with the explicit intent of poisoning a person to death. CONTINUE
