My latest: This is almost trite. How many pro-euthanasia movies/TV episodes have there been? It’s hard to keep count. How many anti-assisted-suicide/pro-care projects? Honestly, I can’t think of one.

To Big Time Hollywood, adjacent glitterati, and much of the mainstream media, truly loving someone with Alzheimer’s means being willing to help them become dead.

WOW “People with disabilities are now very much afraid in many circumstances to show up in the healthcare system with regular concerns. Often MAID is suggested as a solution. “Since the bill was brought in around Track 2 MAID…that has certainly changed people’s interactions

“As I began to minister in this facility, I quickly realized that most of these residents never received a single visitor, abandoned by church and family alike.” The “nursing homes” are the battle grounds in the physician assisted suicide fight.

If we wish to end the euthanasia regime then one aspect of our work must focus on combating the grim realities that create demand for it.

The AI debate is missing the point. The immediate threat is a flaw in the tools we use today. Tomorrow I’ll post a visual thread showing how your AI can be hijacked.

From @mid_day: The move made on Wednesday makes Uruguay the first country in predominantly Catholic Latin America to allow euthanasia via legislation. Colombia and Ecuador have decriminalised the practice through Supreme Court decisions. @theWesleyJSmith

Although the law does not outright ban euthanasia for those with mental conditions like depression, it requires that patients get two doctors to rule fitness

Death on demand is the goal, or at least, the final destination.
@historykev First, they are not safeguards. They are political compromises. Second, why not reevaluate based on new evidence?

Of COURSE she does
Abigail Spanberger says that she supports physician assisted suicide: "I support legalizing the right to die... that would include allowing medical providers to provide prescriptions for life ending."

Once again: Indigenous communities were premodern. Their methods would not have been sufficient to feed Milwaukee, not to mention supply the resources required to live in our technologically advanced age.

Nature rights advocacy combines nature worship mysticism, the supremacy of feelings over thought, and radical anti-humanism into a form of decadence that only the most successful culture could generate.

My latest: If “nature” has the “right to exist, flourish, and regenerate,” any human activity that interferes with natural systems would violate. And wouldn’t the “right” to “be restored” also require enterprises to remediate properties to natural states? https://t.co/Ry2TKEKcWI

My latest podcast interview: A new book, The Immortal Mind, argues both that there is abundant scientific data demonstrating the immaterial existence of the human person and that this reality continues after we die.

The existence of the human soul is usually described as a matter of faith unprovable by science. But is that true? What if evidence exists that we each do indeed have souls and even…

What can be done to harvest benefits of futuristic technologies like CRISPR—the technology was recently used to save a baby’s life—while avoiding the significant dystopian potential? Unless we grow some courage to enforce moral principles, very little.
