Move over, Dr. Death, Here comes Dr. Doom

(here's the link for the full post. It's worth reading.) Dr. Doom
She says:

"And that is the problem with "quality of life" arguments. Sanctity of life gives way to utility. And for that to happen, someone has to play God. Without the respect for life as God-given and sacred, each of us potentially becomes the arbitrary judge of the value of another human being. In the absence of a worldview that comes from a belief in a higher being, and a higher law, each of us may become a tyrant over the lives of others, even if only by our acquiescence in the actions of those making the "who should live/who should die" decisions.

The case of Terry Schiavo was a pivotal case (though by no means the only case of its kind in this country). The temptation to eliminate suffering by eliminating those who suffer widens into eliminating them because their life is a burden or inconvenience to us, they are a reminder to us of the inconvenient and sometimes burdensome expectation of charity commanded by our Lord.

When human beings begin to decide that somebody's life should end, and find their justification in the "letter of law" or the democratic consensus of a "committee" (such as the medical "ethics" boards in hospitals where there is presumably less culpability in numbers), or to cooperate by acquiescence in these decisions, which are guided by economic or ecological considerations rather than moral and spiritual ones, the list of those whose lives are deemed "unworthy" or "too burdensome" begins to widen."

My two cents worth: I'm glad I'm getting older; I don't think I want to be associated with the cloudy thinking that has overtaken my country, the world. The masses can't even tell the difference between good and evil. What's worse--even if they do recognize evil, they are so ingrained with political correctness they want to give real evil a moral equivalence to real justice.
America is "at war" on so many fronts, but most importantly, we are at war with the thoughts and minds of Americans who neglect the stewardship of Democracy. That applies to Israel, Terry Schiavo, abortion and islamo-fascists.
