On Tuesday, @theWesleyJSmith participated in a @Heritage panel discussing organ harvesting atrocities in China.

Smith warned the audience: If China has a 108-degree fever, the West's fever has reached 102. (link to full video in comments)

The other Democratic trifecta states have already legalized assisted suicide. But that is never the end of it. The first laws passed are not meant to be ceilings but launching pads. nationalreview.com/corner/five-ne…

Elections have consequences. My latest: The primary hope of preventing legalization in blue trifecta states rests with the disability rights community, which is part of the liberal/progressive coalition, but sees — correctly, in my view — assisted suicide as targeting them. Civil rights activists, legislators of color, and more traditional Democrats also often oppose assisted suicide. Pro-lifers and medical associations have a part to play, too. It takes a strange bedfellow coalition to defeat these bills in Democrat-controlled states, so we’ll see how it goes.nationalreview.com/corner/five-ne…

The time that patients spend with doctors is often barely long enough to fully explore their medical issues. No matter. The authors argue that doctors should nag their patients about techniques to fight climate change nationalreview.com/corner/bioethi…

My latest: Doctors are of course free to advocate policies they favor, just like anyone else. But their personal political or policy views should not leech into their professional responsibilities as fiduciaries to individual patients. nationalreview.com/corner/bioethi…

What would you do if asked to attend an assisted suicide? @drmarcuspeter and I discuss. Check it out. youtu.be/YSWIqUxkRWI?is…

The doctors define “patient’s interests” as a “benefit recognisable within accepted professional standards of benefit and harm.” Note carefully that these are often ideological, as opposed to medical, positions.

Bioethics is entirely subjective. It appears that opposing medical conscience really comes down to whether the bioethicists in question who support coercing doctors to violate their consciences approve or disapprove of the procedure being requested. nationalreview.com/corner/when-bi…

My latest: Based on what these authors wrote about the determinants of performing wanted interventions, doctors should be forced to circumcise infants wherever it is culturally acceptable — which includes the United States, where the circumcision rate is above 71 percent. @juliansavulescu nationalreview.com/corner/when-bi…

Hey, I spoke about redefining ”infertility” on Sacred Heart Radio in Cincinnati. I was the first guest. Listen in! sacredheartradio.com/driving-home-t…

"Compassion means to suffer with someone. It seems to me that helping a loved one live on would be a true act of caring."

@theWesleyJSmith asks us all to consider: What would you do?

If you are the person who wants assisted suicide, you also face a moral dilemma. Do you ask the people you love to take on the moral weight of your suicide? Is it moral to force such choices on others? Is it selfish? But who wants to die without loved ones present to ease the passage?nationalreview.com/corner/would-y…

If you attend the death, you will be complicit in the suicide. Your presence might be perceived as a validation and endorsement by the suicidal person and by others. And it might communicate to the suicidal person that his or her worst fears are true; that life is no longer worth living, that suffering cannot be alleviated. That is a moral burden you could carry for the rest of your life — and perhaps beyond, depending on your beliefs. nationalreview.com/corner/would-y…

Assisted suicide isn’t going away anytime soon. So we had all better think deeply about this question, because we never know when that call to attend an assisted suicide might come.

So, what would you do?nationalreview.com/corner/would-y…

My latest: These awful moral dilemmas should not exist. And they would not but for the euthanasia movement’s activism, the spreading legalization of facilitated death, and the consequential normalization of having family and friends attend these death. nationalreview.com/corner/would-y…

"Many nature rights believers also promote the nihilistic belief that humans are just another animal in the forest. …I disagree. If we demote ourselves to the status of beasts, that’s precisely how we will act."

Geological features are also claimed by activists to be “persons” and the subject of rights. Rivers, we are told, “are living entities” and have “the right to flow,” among other declared liberties. theepochtimes.com/opinion/nature… via @EpochTimes

Should “nature” be accorded enforceable human-type rights? Not too long ago, the very notion would have been laughed out of town.

But no one is chuckling now. Over the last decade, support for granting legal rights to nature has steadily seeped from the radical fringe into the establishment mainstream. theepochtimes.com/opinion/nature…
