According to some, Terri Schiavo is a "non-person."
If some of the leading ethicist are to be believed, Terri Schiavo is not even a person anymore. World Magazine's blog points out the analysis of one medical ethicist by the name of Bill Allen who, when asked if Terri Schiavo is a person, answered that she is not and that, "someone ought to go ahead and harvest [her] organs."
That mentality is rather hard to comprehend. Sadly, when worth and value are reduced to nothing more than self-awareness/consciousness, these are the types of responses we can expect. Unfortunately, these are also the voices that seem to be winning the debates between life and death.
The National Review article cited by World Mag is a must-read.

Found your site through Nick Queen's "Out Of The Wilderness" New Christian Blogs. Really like it. Thank you for the link on the National Review article by Wesley J. Smith. Truly, human memory is short. Bill Allen and company dance in the same fancy footwork as the authors of the Holocaust.
Truly, the nation needs our prayers. We need believers who will be vigilant, while loving, in asserting the timeless truth of God's principles. He commands us to choose life. He teaches us that the value of a life lies in how it is related to him, not in some esoteric rationalization arrived at in self-belief by authority of someone's IQ.
God bless you and your blogging.
