The following quotes come from Ethics of life and death often create a divide:
Raphael Davidovich, Orthodox Rabbi of the Adath Jeshurun Synagogue:
- The life that Judaism places the highest value on is not just a full, conscious, active life, but any human life....
There's no measurement in Jewish ethics for how conscious a human life has to be in order to be a human life... There's no doubt in traditional Jewish ethics that Terri is alive and should not be deprived of any care without her consent.
Ahmed Noor, trustee of the Mosque & Islamic Center in Hampton, VA:
- Human beings are the crown of God's creation. Every moment of life has great importance, even if it is of poor quality.
Monsignor Michael McCarron of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church:
- Our church has an unyielding, unalterable stance on life regardless of its activity. If you're negating human life - whether in euthanasia or abortion or capital punishment - then you're off base.
Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
