Wesley J. Smith writes about the strange ethics afoot in the medical world today. While more and more doctors and bioethicists are advocating the repeal of conscience rights for doctors, insisting that they participate in euthanasia and abortion because the patient’s desires are autonomous and trump the doctor’s conscience. Ironically, however, many in this crowd also support futile care laws which allow a hospital to determine that due to your quality of life, the healthcare desired by the patient is not worth the cost and can be denied. Smith ends by saying, “Autonomy rules if you want to die–even over medical conscience. But doctor/bioethicists values rule if you want to live.” Clearly, this is not about patient autonomy. It’s about strong-arming an anti-human view on the medical field, forcing everyone who values life out of the business.

Child of lesbian parents warns of depriving children of the opposite sex parent
Posted by Jason Dulle under Apologetics, Same-sex Marriage, Same-sex parenting[2] Comments
An Australian girl who was raised by lesbians and supports both same-sex marriage and same-sex parenting is raising her voice for the children of same-sex couples. She believes the same-sex couple should not be able to deprive the child from knowing their other biological parent. She describes her own longing to know her father and the deep sense of missing something in her life.
The needs of children should trump the desires of adults. Kids deeply long to be in relationship with both of their biological parents, and do best in that environment. They need the influence of both genders.
