I had a conversation with the daughter of a Jewish doctor who escaped Germany in 1937. She was apalled by the fact that all of her family who stayed behind in Germany died in the concentration camps. However, when we spoke about Terri Schiavo, she could not understand any connection between what happened to Terri and what happened to her own family. There is no difference between what happened then and what is happening now. I am flabbergasted by the reasoning of such people. If I hear "quality of life" one more time...
Chilling is it not.
When the phrase "quality of life" is heard, it means the proponent considers that life has no spiritual or eternal essence (generally speaking). That the purpose of human life is gone when a person is invalid, feeble, helpless or incapacitated.
If someone understands that God is the supreme, the One who decides the dates and times of every birth and death, and that every life has a divine purpose, he or she would not ever think that some lives aren't worth living.
