“Obsessional” Fear of Suffering Ushering in Euthanasia Culture

Bioethicist Wesley J. Smith warns that a culture that seeks to escape suffering and inconvenience at all costs will end by eliminating not only pain, but by ending the lives of those suffering or whose condition burden their families. Noting that we live in a time of medical advances where people don't have to die in agony, yet people push for euthanasia. Why? Because health has become the greatest good. "If we're going to defeat euthanasia and assisted suicide, we're going to have to recognize that for a lot of people, the principle of right and wrong don't matter anymore," said Smith. "What matters is making sure there isn't suffering. And that can lead to some very bad and dark places." LifeSiteNews
