It is often asserted that one would not want to die in pain. And they don't ... the pain management is available for even the most difficult of pain. Post mortem of those who commit suicide have shown that in fact 'pain' is rarely if ever invoked as a reason for a patient to take suicidal poison. Instead it is 'autonomy' - to control things and 'go out on my own terms is the most common reason, This is an indicator of a VERY treatable condition - depression. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross outlined this attitude as being very common with terminal diagnosis - the 5 stages of depression. She urged patients and clinicians to NEVER surrender to depression, but instead receive the dynamic benefits that come from facing and walking through such depression. Air Date: N/A

The right to life is a "self-evident," observable truth. Honest, unbiased science is on the side of life. America's laws are based upon observable, self-evident truths. In order to be valid, science must exist in an ordered universe. Roger Bacon, the fonder of 'modern science' beginning in the 1200's was indeed a Christian, but this simply gave him an affirmation that there is an order to the universe. Science (i.e. observable knowledge) is the foundation for natural law. The laws regarding abortion in the US, started coming into effect after the Civil War. Two important principles were in play. Advances in science declared that this was clearly a living human being, and the law - now 'post-slavery' - declared that ALL human beings should be protected by the law. The abortion debate is not about religion but observable scientific fact. Air Date: 1-14-2017
