The grass is not always greener

October 23, 2014 by Andrea Mrozek 1 Comment

 

We are, I’m convinced, as a human species, always playing the comparison game. So-and-so is happier, healthier, prettier, smarter. Here my friend and former PWPL blogger Véronique definitively explains why and how we shouldn’t do this. Another thing: We shouldn’t take social media as evidence of how life is or is not going. (I personally have written upbeat and funny posts before whilst feeling depressed.)

Pro-lifers believe every life is unique. Special. Sacred, even, and that no two people are exactly alike, and so we won’t tread the same paths. Then we go away and fall prey to precisely the secular tendencies we claim to reject.

Just say no to intentional killing of the innocent

October 20, 2014 by Andrea Mrozek 1 Comment

Mark Penninga writes about the ongoing legalization of assisted suicide debate in the National Post. 

One need not be healthy or strong to be protected equally under the law. As long as you have human DNA, you qualify for protection. Euthanasia and assisted suicide violates this principle of no intentional killing. I was shocked by how little the lawyers and judges in the Supreme Court hearing discussed this. The inviolability of life, which is a foundation for all law, was brushed aside as if it was a pesky house fly that distracted the lawyers and judges for a brief moment.

If we cross the line where the right to life moves from objective to subjective, we undermine the entire foundation of human rights.

In my mind, anyway, we already crossed that line round about the time we legalized abortion. So nowadays, (for many other reasons as well) life is not objective. It is not an objective good to defend, encourage and support. It is purely subjective–because individual people, particularly suffering people, have good reasons very often, to end their own lives. We used to stand up consistently against that, but today we don’t anymore. Could it be that abortion normalized the idea of killing others–precisely because it has been so routinely framed as difficult, but necessary and even compassionate, alongside being paid for by the government?

“Euthanasia’s damage to the human soul”

October 14, 2014 by Andrea Mrozek 1 Comment

Screen Shot 2014-10-14 at 3.17.13 PMTomorrow, Wednesday, October 15, Canada’s Supreme Court will hear arguments about whether the criminalization of euthanasia is constitutional. The results won’t be known for several months. It’s good to remember the many reasons why euthanasia should never be sanctioned. Here, National Post columnist Barbara Kay explains one of them:

The essay goes on to describe each step – with copious facts and figures – along the way from euthanasia for “unbearable suffering” to involuntary euthanasia (a distressing number over there) to, in bio-ethicist Margo Somerville’s words,  “institutionalizing murder in the medical profession.” It’s an excellent essay, but what haunts me most is the “glazed eyes” of her uncle at learning that a sad 50-year old asked for and received death at the hands of a psychiatrist. Glazed eyes, glazed hearts, glazed souls. That’s the real slippery slope.
