At the beginning of February of this year, a couple, both 93, died together. They did not die in a car crash or at the end of a gun. They died quietly, holding hands. This sounds like an appealing “way to go.” If you died with your spouse, you would not experience grief or loneliness. You could live without burdening your family with your needs as you age. All these aspects put this approach to dying in a favorable light.
For infertile couples struggling to have children, in vitro fertilization (IVF) may seem to provide a beacon of hope. However, there are ethical issues Christians need to consider. According to Genetics and Society.org, “Since August 1991 more than 3.5 million human embryos have been created. Of the embryos created, almost 840,000 were put into storage for future use and more than 2000 were stored for donation. Almost 5,900 were set aside for experimentation.” Embryonic Children Die While GRTL...
I’m fighting ALS — and the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review When I was diagnosed 6 years ago with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis—ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease as most people know it—it was a shock to my system, both figuratively and literally. No one wants to learn they have an incurable disease. For people living with ALS, our best hope is that the life sciences field will innovate and find, if not cures, then medicines that can delay symptoms and extend life. When I was first...
While National Grandparents Day, the Sunday following Labor Day, was founded by Jacob Reingold and Marian McQuade in 1973, the holiday has escaped the grasp of most people—so let’s talk about it! The purpose of the day is for older adults to share wisdom, varying perspectives, and values with young people—starting with their grandchildren—on this day and beyond. In our current culture, just as the Personhood of the preborn is being denied, the God-given life of our elderly population is being...
For infertile couples struggling to have children, in vitro fertilization (IVF) may seem to provide a means to fulfill their desire to have children. However, there are ethical issues Christians need to consider. According to Genetics and Society.org, “Since August 1991 more than 3.5 million human embryos, [innocent human babies], have been created. Of the embryos created, almost 840,000 were put into storage for future use, and more than 2000 were stored for donation. Almost 5,900 were set...
The percentage of our population aged 65 and older was 16.5 percent in 2019, up from 4.1 percent in 1900. By 2050 it’s projected to be 22 percent. Sadly, how our society deals with older people is a travesty. Trend to Devalue Personhood of Elderly Thanks to a growing trend of viewing seniors as a burden and economic drain, the elderly are often: denied proper medical care; hunted down by organ harvesters; encouraged to kill themselves; or worst of all, killed without their consent. The quest...

We live in an era where misinformation and lies are rampant. There’s no better example than how abortion advocates incorrectly slander Pregnancy Resource Centers (PRCs). They vilify them, claiming they’re “fake clinics” that are “unethical.”
