Margot Mcdonald a member of the Scottish party is today introducing a bill which if it becomes Scottish law will allow 'assisted suicide' or euthanasia as we normally call it. It is worth mentioning that Margot is suffering from 'Parkinsons disease.'
I wish this subject was as 'black and white' as some seem to think. On one side are those who would say, "it's my life, and if I want to die what has it got to do with anyone else?" On the other side are those who believe that life is 'divine,' a gift, and not to be done away with.
As for me I'm totally commited to my Christian belief that God gave me life and at some point will take it back. But what about those who have no faith or the one's whose life has become intolerable because of terrible pain, or perhaps horribly disabled?
Please don't look to me for simple answers. Thirty five years ago I would have had no problem in giving you answers to all of life's difficulties, today, well, I've seen a lot more of life.
I was listening to my friend David last night talking about the compassion of Jesus and His concern that the people had no shepherd to lead them. There are so many voices speaking today, attempting to drive us in all kinds of crazy directions, may we hear His voice.
