Veggie murder

In a culture which has little respect for the unwanted child in the womb, I thought this was a new low in craziness. With the thought expressed below, everytime you have a salad at a table with a floral arrangement you have become a mass murderer.

Switzerland Ethics Committee Calls for the Right to Life of PlantsBern, Switzerland (LifeNews.com) -- A group of Swiss experts are arguing that plants deserve the right to life and that killing them is morally wrong except when it comes to saving humans. In a report on "the dignity of the creature in the plant world", the federal Ethics Committee on non-human Gene Technology condemned the decapitation of flowers without reason. In a new article published in this week's Weekly Standard, bioethicist Wesley Smith opines: "Switzerland's enshrining of 'plant dignity' is a symptom of a cultural disease that has infected Western civilization, causing us to lose the ability to think critically and distinguish serious from frivolous ethical concerns. It also reflects the triumph of a radical anthropomorphism that views elements of the natural world as morally equivalent to people." Smith notes that once society began to diminish the view of the worth of human beings by abortion, euthanasia and other practices, it makes sense that scientists would push for the rights of plants. "Our accelerating rejection of the Judeo-Christian world view, which upholds the unique dignity and moral worth of human beings, is driving us crazy. Once we knocked our species off its pedestal, it was only logical that we would come to see fauna and flora as entitled to rights."

We went to see "Expelled" with Ben Stein today which pointed out that the acceptance of Darwin's worldview of the "survival of the fittest" was the basis of the eugenics movement in America, Germany and elsewhere. I was encouraged to see that abortion and euthanasia were shown to be an outcome of such thinking. Margaret Sanger and her Planned Parenthood continue the thought with abortion mills in black neighborhoods. Day Gardner, Lillie Epps and others protested at the DC PP last week. They stated that 39% of abortions are in the Africian American community which is 12% of the population.

May we properly appreciate and protect human life and value this beautiful creation from God.
