When Society Celebrate Suicide
Good article at townhall.com entitled "
When Society Celebrates Suicide" by Suzanne Fields. Here's some excerpts
"We once depended on religion and laws of the spirit to determine how we
put science and technology to use. That's difficult today when
secularism has been elevated to the status of religion, reality has
become virtual, and technology drives our sensibilities about what it
means to be human."
"The ethics of "assisted suicide" lubricates the descent on that
slippery slope, ever more dangerous as an increasingly geriatric
society anticipates a crisis in long-term care. Relieving pain may not
always be the only consideration in assisting another person's death. A
lingering illness makes it easier for an adult child to become callous
in the face of an elder's suffering. We value independence of body and
mind, but in old age, interdependence is crucial. Assisted suicide is
merely the tip of a titanic iceberg."
