[Faith-talk] are “persons.”

[Debby Phillips]

What I find disturbing about people like Peter Singer is that 
measuring quality of life is not something they seem to be able 
to discuss.  And who says what "quality of life" is? For me, this 
evening sitting outside on our deck with my husband, my new 
Seeing Eye dog, and retired Seeing Eye dog, was wonderful.  But 
for those who believe that blindness is like dying (and I have 
heard this expressed before) they would think that there could be 
no quality of life since I could not see the sunset, or see the 
children playing down the street.  Wow, would they ever be wrong!

I have been with people who are disabled in other ways, and 
although the scope of their lives may seem narrow to me, they 
have such joy in the life they have that who are we to deny them 
that?    Blessings,    Debby and Nova
