Killing, like slavery, is ever in the bloodstream of fallen man. \u00a0In a flawed, sin inclined world, you can bet your bottom dollar that people will find ways to kill, and if that doesn\u2019t work, enslave. \u00a0 There\u2019s also that other strange trend, noticed by the Founding Fathers and admitted to since the ancient biblical narratives, that people will, in lieu of killing and being enslaved, ultimately allow themselves to be killed or enslaved in turn.<\/p>\n
It shouldn\u2019t surprise us that the main push toward ending life in the modern age is no longer centered on\u00a0warfare and conquest, as in the days of kingdoms and nations. \u00a0Today, rather, in the age of ultra-individualism and self-focus the killing is more driven by\u00a0our own personal choices. Killing, not for king or country, but for my own concerns and priorities. \u00a0Killing on a one on one, intimate basis.<\/p>\n
Euthanasia isn\u2019t quite there yet in terms of doing it to others for my own sake. \u00a0Abortion is there sometimes, perhaps often. \u00a0But it\u2019s still there, riding on the primacy of the individual. \u00a0All of those things once hoisted for the greater society now embraced by the\u00a0the greater me.<\/p>\n
