Euthanasia And Sanctity Of Life

K. the lives lost so one might have a biological kid are less than the life lost so one won't have to parent her daddy's offspring.

Noted. Thanks for the clarification.

Really? Do they not offer adoption services in your neck of the woods?

He is presenting a false dichotomy, nobody is saying that either life is worth more than the other.

It’s kind of difficult for me to believe that a true believer of Christ would say something like he did. I’m not saying he’s not a Christian, but it’s raising red flags.

You are saying that—in practice. I haven't said any child should be terminated. I'm just saying neither the rape victim nor the IVF client is treating either 'product' as a child if it is a child.

In the case of the victim...if the Scriptures discussed in the MacArthur thread are any indication... not regarding it as a child might be justified.

But one has to do some real pretzel twisting to find a Scriptural warrant for knowingly tossing multiple babies, if they are babies, to their deaths hoping just one might hit the sweet spot and stick. If there is a justification for that method, then no judgment can be pronounced on the rape victim.

Anyway, I think all that can be said has been said.

Yeah, because all those "endangering" activities only occurred after he was an adult. 😜


There's just so much wrong with your thinking and cherry-picking arguments that I don't think it's worth my time.

We are mere mortals and get to bask in the egotistical light that emanates from Herr Ekk.
Just kiss his ring, bow and thank him for the honor. 😁


P. S. And acknowledge that Jews are at the root of all the world’s evillll!
 
The question(s) I have is exactly the same one I ask of anyone who supports abortion. At what point is the newly formed, totally unique, multiplying entity human? At what point is that same entity a person? Is that point the same as or different for the two questions?

You make a lot of broad generalizations and paint the whole lot of people with your fiats, but just because you believe something and declare it so numerous times, doesn't make it so.

"But one has to do some real pretzel twisting to find a Scriptural warrant for knowingly tossing multiple babies, if they are babies, to their deaths hoping just one might hit the sweet spot and stick when you knowingly copulate despite awareness that they are going to fail to implant, or simply miscarry".

In life, sometimes it’s easier to avoid the questions because the answers are too painful. You have to take the human psyche into account when asking these questions and consider your audience.

Basically, as soon as the pro-abortion people claim there are human beings who are not also human persons, they need to suggest how and when personhood is bestowed. At that point, they've abandoned a scientific argument for a philosophical/religious one. And then we should be able to tell them to keep their rosaries off our ovaries. :)
 
What it all boils down to is if you can kill someone because they are too young then your can kill someone because they are too old, too Black, too politically undesirable or for any other reason society deems feasible. The reason Hitler got away with the attempted genocide of the Jews is he dehumanized them and made them something other than human. A Christian sees humans as being created in the image of God (distinct from animals) and therefore all human life is sacred.

What authority does the human psyche have over this matter?
