Everyone Matters, No Matter What
Everyone Matters, No Matter What - Wesley J. Smith
The idea of euthanasia clinics was once thought of as science fiction but has, alas, become reality today with an international clientele making one-way trips to Switzerland where they are legal. Killing as an answer to problem of suffering has ‘become de rigeur among the intellectual class’, argues the author. The inherent dignity of every human being is losing ground to a purely materialist, nihilist and post-modern conception of man whose moral worthiness ‘is solely a by-product of some measurable attribute or capacity’. This can only be overcome by ‘embracing human exceptionalism’ and by suffering with the suffering through love of our neighbour.
