Is Killing Ok Under Certain Circumstances?

Is it morally wrong to take a life?

What happens when God is replaced with bioethicists? The national conversation takes a drastic turn for the worse, as we see in this shocking new report which has scientists arguing life is not sacred and that it's ok to kill someone in certain situations. On killing a hypothetical disabled person: "killing her cannot disrespect her autonomy, because she has no autonomy left. It also cannot be unfair to kill her if it does her no harm." Ref. Source 3

Dr. Phil Show: "Mercy Kill" People with Disabilities

This week on the popular Dr. Phil Show, a mother named Annette Corriveau was featured. She's special because she wants the right to be able to kill her children.

That's right. She is the mother of two severely disabled adult children, and she feels that the moral thing to do would be to kill them by lethal injection, to end their 'suffering." Her children were diagnosed with Sanfilippo syndrome, causing them to lose motor function and be institutionalized. They cannot speak, and they have to be fed through feeding tubes. Any more information on their condition wasn't made clear - probably because, as Annette admitted, she visits her children only once every two months. The people who actually work with her children every day, and see them on a regular basis, and could therefore give a better idea of what their lives are like, were not interviewed for the show. We had only Annette's point of view, which is that - according to her - if her children could choose, they would choose suicide. Ref. Source 3
