Voter's Guide for Serious Catholics
#9
RE: Voter's Guide for Serious Catholics
Well , Dolorian I can only give my own opinion on what I have reasoned to feel is right. I personally strongly disagree with points 1 and 5, which I will go into more detail about; I strongly agree with point 2 about Euthenasia, but not for any religious reason; it's just wrong to rub out an old person just because they have outlived their usefulness. I have misgivings about human cloning because the law doesn't cover what status a clone would have among other things. The jury is still out on embryonic stem cell research for me; adult stem cells are not totipotent so embryo stem cells may be needed for some things.
Going back to 1 and 5: About abortion I think it should be strictly the choice of the mother.
About gay marriage this statement riles me up : "True marriage is the union of one man and one woman". Who decided that? That would negate most forms of bibical marriage in any case. Marriage throughout history has always been a form of social contract. Homosexual marriage is a good thing because it allows people to be included in society (who were excluded) and hurts nobody. It normalises and encompasses and circumvents difference. It doesn't hurt or diminish traditional marriage.
It's not immoral to eat meat, abort a fetus or love someone of the same sex...I think that about covers it
