However, I don't think we should be evasive in our language.<br /><br />Sackers - I agree, we seem to be drifting towards a casual attitude toward death for the inconvenient - at both ends of life.A K Haarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897490979828603179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524682876220396502.post-64649642174310426332014-03-27T07:01:51.788+00:002014-03-27T07:01:51.788+00:00AK: yes, the tell is, as you say, in the evasive l...AK: yes, the tell is, as you say, in the evasive language. <br /><br />P: Coercion is one thing, persuasion another. <br /><br />Abortion is only one of many issues on which some people delight to get ranty, self-righteous and sometimes dangerously vicious, but there is a debate to be had. <br /><br />In the UK we've killed c. 8 million children since the Summer of Love and it's had profound effects on our demographic structure, with further economic and social consequences.<br /><br />But all that evades the moral question: is it OK to kill people because they are inconvenient? We seem to accept this for unborn children, and the State appears keen to extend this principle to the long-term comatose; maybe eventually cripples, madmen, the old and poor. If the latter seems fanciful, think of the calculations already made in the British health system about who gets life-extending treatment and who doesn't.Sackersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17284329249862764601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524682876220396502.post-7878481910646762892014-03-27T01:39:26.251+00:002014-03-27T01:39:26.251+00:00I describe myself as uncomfortably pro-choice, sim...I describe myself as uncomfortably pro-choice, simply because I will not make that decision for someone else.Paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07952088638231881617noreply@blogger.com
