- Along with the growing acceptance, even welcoming, of
euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide, have come increasingly
dire warnings about the practice from ethicists and
thinkers. The "mercy" offered by euthanasia can only
be offered by those who, logically and emotionally, hold
to a conception of the human person radically different
from that of traditional medicine: the price of accepting
euthanasia's "compassion" is denying that humans have
any inherent worth apart from their productivity or
utility.
- To read about the false charity of euthanasia. Read about
those who consider Killing
As Caring.
