Daniels Sometimes the courage of one person is all it takes to completely turn things around. The latest issue of 'First Things, a monthly journal on religion and public life reports such an incident occurring at a convention of bioethicists meeting recently in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. During a 'session concerned with physician- asgisted suicide, after listening to speaker after speaker support the philosophy of volunteer and "involuntary eythanasia, Dr. Joanne Lynn, professor of Caring for Children, 18 months to 9 years | . | Utica | | ; | | DayCare | I - for - | Toddlers &Pre-Schoolers | * Flexible to your needs I * JK & SK Programme | * Before/after School care | | (busing Epsom & Port Perry) | | * Home-cooked meals | | * Piano lessons | | * French language circles | | UTICA DAYCARE ... | your child's home away from home | 005) 985-8783 | % 'geriatrics at prestigious Dartmouth College, stood and forced the gathering to contemplate what was really being recommended, Standing alone in that crowd of major bioett and audible visible demonstration of support from the majority agreeing with her, but lacking the courage to speak out. Just one person, driven by ethical ) for the she declared, "The fact is that I, as a hospice physician, am going to be asked to see to it that a person is not going to be. alive tomorrow because today they are in awful circumstances...I'm being asked here to be the executioner so that those people are not there as a drain on resources." She challenged the gathering to understand what physician-assisted suicide really is---a quiet and complacent method of ridding the planet of these people who are putting a strain on our resources. When Br. Lynn finished speaking, the audience burst into applause---a SEW BEAUTIFUL located within Luke's Country Store 203 Queen St., Downtown PORT PERRY 985-7460 helpless of society, and unconcerned about how she would be viewed by those who disagreed, was able to change the perceptions of a significant group of people. Our times cry out for those with moral fortitude like Dr. Lynn. The encroaching tentacles of utilitarian pragmatism are sucking the moral life from our society. We are becoming a people who gauge the value of actions in terms of profit, pleasure or personal convenience. But when it comes to defining one's purpose in life, the Christian is reminded of the words of Jesus: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart < LANTANA Fashion with a personal touch. Lantana'offers you 4 Personal in-home Shopping + Excellent Hostess Credits "+ Catalogue Shopping + Free Fashion C and with all your soul and with all your mind." This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: "Love your neighbour as yourself" (Matthew 22:37-39 NIV). One indication! of the Christian's love for God is an active compliance with , the will of God, involving anfong other things, a willingness to care for the disenfranchised in society. Let's have the integrity to admit what all-too<often drives the current debate surrounding physician- assisted suicide. Keeping the sick, elderly, and helpless alive is costly and sometimes inconvenient and this does not fit with the prevailing profit- driven, pleasure-ridden worldview. . But as Dr. Joanne Lynn discovered, the sound of just one lone voice of moral courage may be all it takes to stop this, maddening rush toward cultural disintegration.
