Forgetful Barbarians
Those who advocate euthanasia and assisted suicide are forgetting the lessons of US history. They claim that it is right to kill the terminally ill, the disabled, and the mentally ill because they are not full persons. Not long ago our country fought a civil war about such person-hood--namely of African Americans. The country shed its blood to rightly declare that African Americans are full persons of equal value.
Convenient Memory Loss
I believe that pro death advocates choose to forget such lessons of history because it is convenient for them. The precedent of the Cival War does stand in the way of easily declaring an undesirable party as not human or full persons. So, the response is to ignore whatever strong arguments hinder the freedom of these barbarians to kill. Once again, it is the lesser right of liberty taking precedence over the right to life.
Racist Abortions
It is appalling that more us aren't aware of the blatent racism of Margret Sanger--founder of Planned Parenthood. Sanger and her croonies desired to place ahortion clinics throughout areas heavily populated by African Americans. Her eugenic goal was to eliminate large numbers of future African Americans. It was not suprising when I learned that Adolf Hitler devoured and cheerished the writings of Amercian Eugenicts like Margaret Sanger. We may have defeated the Nazi in World War II, but their idealogical step children are carrying on the cause through abortion, assisted suicide and euthanasia.
We must each deeply search our hearts and consciences, then rise up to fight this new idealological world war. I adhere to Robert Singers definition of a human as anyone born to a human, and we all are humans.
