*With the scientific knowledge we know have regarding the nature of an unborn child, there is no middle ground.*
Here is a true story that clarifies the insanity of Abortion and Euthanasia.
Recently a baby was born with heart defects. The parents were advised of this prior to birth and the doctor told the parents to abort him. They called a Maronite Catholic priest friend, who told them to have the baby. He said it was better that the baby be baptized into the Church and called home by God Himself, than to be killed in his mother's womb. The parents accepted the priest's advice, and named him Charbel, in hopes of a miracle from his patron saint. He was baptized immediately following birth and pronounced to be in a dangerous state of health.
Many prayer requests went out for Baby Charbel. Today, we learned that Charbel was born without the proper construction of a heart - the valves and ventricles, and that is why his situation was so dire. He has since had a successful operation wherein they basically constructed a working heart out of almost nothing almost, and is now breathing on his own. The doctors say his prognosis is very good.
Moral of the story: Where there is life, there is hope! When we place our trust in God, He will not hear our prayers.
Saint Charbel Mahklouf
