PA. Lines: 25 () If you really advocate the theory which you stated equating humanness with independence, you are not only advocating abortion but the needless deaths of all those who require long-term care and as such are not selfreliant. Would you put a gun to the head of your senile grandparent,your mentally or physically-impaired relative, or your own pre-adolescent child and pull the trigger if they did something to inconvenience you? A little sacrifice is good for everyone once in a while. If you can answer yes to ant of the previously stated rhetorical questions, you possess that which I lack; a complete ignorance of morality. I am not a religious person; indeed, I am forced by my present circumstances to attend services regardless of my own feelings on the matter. However, I DO believe in a universal set of morals, which the concept which you seem to be a proponent of violates. -- A. J. Rowley "see, no problem!"
