This is unbelievable: A Scot newspaper, reporting on the Debbie Purdy case, states that the Lords gave Purdy’s husband permission to take his wife to Switzerland for suicide. From the story:
The law prohibiting assisted suicide is set to be clarified after a woman with multiple sclerosis won a landmark victory that will allow her husband to help her end her life.
That isn’t only factually false, but the Lords made a point of stating that they were not making that ruling! So the question I continue to have in cases such as this, are they really that ignorant, do they just report off of press releases, or have they ceased to care about the truth?
Dear Reader,
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.
