Good news in the Golubchuk case. The court has enjoined the hospital from cutting off Mr G’s treatment. But there will be a trial. But that is how it should be: Let these doctors and bioethicists justify themselves in open court in front of the press and the world and be subjected to cross examination. Let the Golubchuck family present their own evidence. An open proceeding with transparency and the right of appeal sure beats unilateral termination of treatment and decision making behind closed doors.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
