Drugs Extending My Life, but Boston Institute Disagrees

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...

Overpopulation: Where Did the Idea Come From?

For decades Americans have been warned of an impending population explosion that would perhaps threaten our very existence. The Population Bomb, published in 1968, by Professor Paul R. Ehrlich, warned of approaching mass starvation due to overpopulation. What is overpopulation? Where did this theory come from? Is it factual? Why does it matter when it comes to the sanctity of life and Personhood? Our children have long been taught that not only that a growing population is bad for the...

Build-A-Baby: The Problems with IVF

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 Personhood of the Elderly

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...

Death Train Getting Longer

Merchants of death are excitedly pushing to add more cars to their anti-Personhood train that takes the elderly and infirm to the tragedy of ending their own lives. Advocates of enabling people to kill themselves are hoping Massachusetts will open the floodgates for enacting more physician assisted death laws across the country. “They [opponents] know that if death with dignity passes in Massachusetts, other states will quickly follow their leadership,” according to Peg Sandeen, Chief...

Those Amazing Stem Cells

The Bible declares that we humans are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139.14). Clearly, the human body is the most complex and unique organism God created. Fundamental to our complexity are stem cells, of which there are two kinds. The first being embryonic stem cells, which develop shortly after fertilization and are the creation of a new person. The second type adult, or somatic stem cells, are present throughout all the tissues and organs of our bodies. Because of the...

Pregnancy Centers Save Innocent Pre-born Lives

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.”

Vaccines: What You Need to Know

December 2020 - Article 2: (Note: This article is not medical advice. It presents facts to help readers make their own decision as to whether or not they take a particular COVID vaccine). The COVID-19 pandemic has created a situation that would have been unthinkable just a few months ago. Lockdowns, stores going out of business, schools closing, and mandated face coverings have become routine. What’s the answer? Many hope it’s a safe and effective vaccine. Overlooked in most of the public...

Georgia to Face Doctor-Prescribed Suicide

NORCROSS, GA, December 10, 2014—Georgia Right to Life (GRTL) Director of Bioethics, Bethany Walker, said today she is deeply concerned about a push to adopt a doctor-prescribed suicide law in Georgia. “Georgia is overwhelmingly pro-life,” Walker said. “And that support includes protecting the elderly, disabled and terminally ill, as well as pre-born children. "Communicating to those that receive a negative diagnosis that dying with dignity means suicide forces a wrongful burden on the patient...
