I don't usually like moralizing or philosophizing online, but tonight I want to say this. I want people to think about this.
Last Friday, Jack "Dr. Death" Kevorkian was released from prison after spending seven years in prison for helping a man who was unable to kill himself commit suicide. While Kevorkian has no intention to return to the assisted suicide business (probably due to his probation), he does intend to work towards the legalization of euthanasia, assisted suicide, and suicide.
Last night, six good men died trying to save the life of another man. These men died when their helicopter crashed into Lake Michigan when they were trying to take organs to the University of Michigan hospital to save the life of a man, a man who will probably die because of this accident.
I highly doubt that this man WANTS to die. I doubt this family wants him to die. Jack Kevorkian is in the business of helping people die. Richard Chenault and the others in that helicopter were in the business of helping people live. We do not have a God-given right to die. We do have a God-given right to life and a duty to protect life. Euthanasia is not mercy; it is sin. Assisted suicide does no one any favors. In short, we have a duty to protect life from conception to a natural death when God calls us home.
