Shorn of all the persiflage, essentially
the euthanasia debate comes down to a question of love - or love's opposite,
which is fear.
People who promote it, like convicted
euthanasia advocate Suzy Austen, are afraid of suffering a painful death.
People who oppose euthanasia are
defending and protecting the vulnerable - the disabled, the mentally ill,
especially youth, and the unwanted elderly.
They do so out of love. They can face
death themselves with equanimity, because mostly they are people with faith in
Jesus Christ, who teaches us that perfect love casts out fear.
