The above reminds me of the following twitter exchange:
It is one of the strangest things I’ve ever run across in these forums. A person who claims to be a Hindu lecturing Christians on the imminent second coming of Jesus Christ
If I were to be executed, I’d want my flesh to be used to help others, no matter if I was Jewish captive, a fetus or whatever. There have been a fair number of executed criminals in the US who have graciously given up their bodies or organs upon death. The twitter exchange is the most ludicrous thing I’ve heard in a long time. There is a huge difference in offering up your body to save others (in the image of Christ) and using your flesh for lamp shades.
Do what you want re donating your body parts for research.However,don’t assume you have the right to speak for the unborn or all the Jews executed and others how obnoxious and clueless!
How is it that people have gotten to such a stage where they can accept the apparent ‘inevitable’ murder of these children in their mothers wombs, that they could even discuss this?
Still, the Nazi doctors’ experiments were conducted on Jews who were not yet gassed. IOW, they were still alive and that constitutes torture. I’m not condoning abortion on demand for any reason, but let’s get the comparison right.
Using human fetal tissue to save lives is not exactly the equivalent of using human tissue to make lamp shades and soap. I am not pro-abortion for any (frivolous) reason, but there is a difference here. Now, if the Nazis used dead human tissue from Jews and others to save people’s lives, then we might talk comparisons to using human fetal issue to save lives.
True, however the reasoning behind doing it was the same, and the analogy is apt all but ‘torture’.
Okay.
That’s true. I can’t speak for all the unborn, the Jewish captives or anyone else for that matter. Not everyone has the desire or inclination to sacrifice in the name of Christ. We see many examples everyday of people who are selfish and who are very protective of their freedom to ignore the suffering of others. You’re right. I can’t speak for them.
Are you for real?!?
Jewish law has no problems with organ donation when one is still alive for the purpose of saving another person’s life. This is one of the highest blessings. But after death, if the organs are not GUARANTEED to be used to save human life, but instead end up being discarded, there is a problem, although if the guarantee is given, organ donation trumps the law that requires intact burial. However, more important, if the organ needs to be harvested while the dying person’s heart is still beating (even though they are medically brain dead), that constitutes murder according to Jewish law, which, contrary to medicine, still defines life based on the heart rather than the brain. There may be ways around this, however. So you see it is not necessarily a matter of selfishness but instead practicing the Law for the benefit of all.
Anyone who turns a blind eye to Abortion because they are profiting off of it, are just as guilty as the ones who perform the practice.
Except these children are not offering up their bodies. They are being butchered on the altar of choice It is despicable that people would use their remains for any reason
One you accept the slaughter as ok what difference does it make what the parts are used for? I can not believe anyone defends this. It is an indication of how degraded our culture is.
Amen. You said it better than I could.
As charitably as I can I must say that this is one of the most disturbing posts I’ve seen on these forums, particularly from someone who claims to be Catholic. There is nothing remotely Christ-like in the actions of an abortionist and there is no redeeming action that can be taken regarding the use of the pitiful child’s corpse and organs even if they were used to save a thousand lives.
