This is the logical progression in thought and policy for a country that has embraced a “culture of death”. Where does this ultimately lead to? Mandated euthanasia for individuals who are a drain on societies resources. Google “Whatever Happened to the Human Race” and watch it. The prophetic series put together by C. Everett Koop and Francis Shaeffer back in the 70’s. I watched it as a teen and said to myself, this will never happen in the USA. I was wrong.
I believe you’re right. If there’s nothing exceptional about human life, then it’s not so bad if the state makes decisions on when to begin or end it.
I watched it, too. The culture of death exploded in the late 60s, early 70s, and it steamrolls along unabated. Prime examples are the active, aggressive killing of the unborn AND the born, the most high-profile case being Terry Schiavo.
