The Progeny of Hitler

{Hitler would be so PROUD!}

Personhood Defined

{C~B~N's comments enclosed}

Senior fellow, Wesley Smith, at the Discovery Institute says the changing definition of personhood in contemporary society will have a profound effect on everything from abortion and euthanasia to assisted reproductive technology{Very similar to Hitler's breeding for the perfect "Aryan" nation.} and embryonic stem-cell research.

Smith maintains that the United States of America was founded on the premise of the great value of human life and that all human life, regardless of mental or physical capacity, is important. {Gee, where did we crazy Americans come up with this idea? Try Jeremiah 1:5! Our Founding Fathers knew and followed the Bible. They founded this country based upon the Biblical principles God imparted through the Bible. To state otherwise, is to show your ignorance of our history. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean you can re-write it.}

An idea known as the "personhood theory" is taking hold. Especially in bio-ethics and higher education circles. {Bio-ethics, what an OXYMORON.}

Personhood Theory defined-- Does the organism have sufficient cognitive capacity to be deemed worthy of things such as life and bodily integrity; and if IT does, for example, by being self-aware over time, IT can be called a person.

So, while the words "person" and "human" were at one time considered synonyms, he observes, "increasingly in the universities and among the elite, that is no longer true."

{Elitism--the group or part of a group selected or regarded as the finest, best, most distinguished, most powerful, etc.

The definition in itself isn't too bad but when an elite group in power determines who qualifies for life then it is a DANGEROUS thing. Who are YOU to determine who deserves life? Are you God? NO. Don't believe in God? Then I sure don't want you determining someone's fate because to a godless person, life is CHEAP.}

Putting criteria on what it means to be a person devalues all life by putting a quantitative value on it. Once such definitions are established, they would likely change with whoever is in power at any given time, putting the weak and the marginalized in society in a perpetually vulnerable state.

{The elderly, the poor ~~anyone who can no longer "contribute" to society would receive the death sentence; regardless of past contributions. Unless, you are of the "elite" group.

Let's face it. IF the elite could drain the life force out of us in order to live forever, they would! And not suffer one little bit of conscience.

I don't have much respect for the elitists of society. They are not the ones who build society. When viewed with the contributions of the working man, they are the ones who really are expendable. What they contribute is neglible compared to the working men and women of the world. And No, I'm NOT talking communism here. Communists had no more respect for the working man than the elitists have. The 'haves' in communism WERE the elitists. Their talking mouth pieces expounding about the glory of the working man was just that: empty words to get the people to support them. The reality is they left the working man and woman poorer than when they started.

If the elitists kill off all undesirables according to them: the mentally handicapped, the physically handicapped, the religious (oh, yes, we would be in this category), the poor, the elderly, etc. What is going to stop them then from adding others to this list? Anyone who doesn't have a MENSA IQ? Earns at minimum $250,000 a year? Has a career as opposed to a job?

Realistically, if they do this then who exactly is going to grow their food? Dispose of their garbage? Repair their electronic toys? Invent those toys? Clean up after them? Build their homes, business buildings? Buy their products? Etc.

I can just imagine a college professor tilling a field.....a rich man driving himself to the dump to dispose of his garbage .....a politician begging for more money for his pet project from the rich because there are fewer and fewer tax payers each year due to our undesirability....how about the rich picking up after themselves instead of their maids or butlers.....
......................................................yeah right. That's gonna happen!}

"I think defeating personhood theory in the marketplace of ideas may be the most urgent matter facing this society," Smith adds, "because if being a human being is not what gives moral value, but instead we decide it is personhood theory or some other measurement, then value rights depend on who has the power to decide.

{What a terrible world these elitists envision. Too bad their hind sight cannot see this now......}

Designer Babies~~more from the legacy of Hitler: he would be so PROUD.

Just because we CAN do a thing doesn't necessarily mean we SHOULD do a thing..... [paraphrase from 'Jurassic Park' by Michael Crichton]

"It seems particularly important this year to look up at the sky and wonder at the majesty of babies created by the great Creator. If we are dissatisfied with His grand design, how can we feel any greater satisfaction at our own handiwork?

Perhaps we would be better off accepting all babies that arrive at the doorstep, giving praise for their blessing to our lives, opening the door, and making one more bed in the inn."
