Read review."The wide-open door of abortion-on-demand leads naturally to infanticide which leads naturally to euthanasia," said Francis A. Schaeffer with C. Everett Koop MD.A person's worldview will dictate the answer to vital questions on these moral/ethical issues posed in this volatile book. What of abortion? What of infanticide? What of euthanasia? Such questions reach back even before Hitler's extermination drive of the "unwanteds".
Humanism vs Christianity...Holocaust & Death Pills vs Hippocratic Oaths. Western and Eastern philosophies vs God's view and Word. What are the consequences when subscribing to one or the other? Philosophers and Scientists do not have all the answers, that's why the "God-view" is necessary. Learn more by reading this book.
BE INFORMED. Know your answer BEFORE you need to know it; before the unthinkable becomes the thinkable, urge the authors. Make your view be not the generally accepted worldview, but God's view of human beings being made in the image of God. This equals VALUE. Subsequently, your solutions to "what to do with" the unwed expectant mother, the parents of a baby born with some severe physical defect or the aged parent in an Alzheimer befuddlement, will stem from that.
Shaeffer and Koop are very informative on these moral/ethical issues. I highly recommend this book as an absolute must, for all followers of Jesus Christ. The authors stress, this is NOT a Roman Catholic issue; it is an all-encompassing Christian issue, which gets no one off the hook.
Acknowledgements, notes, a bibliography of more of Schaeffer's books and a Scripture Index will be found at the end of the book. There is mention of a film series on this topic as well (already on YouTube, by Schaeffer, Vision Video).
