Jonah writes, ” most Americans on both sides of the issue will be relieved to say goodbye to the topic entirely.” I hope that’s not entirely the case. She’ll be dead, having not gotten a fair hearing, and we’ll have a lot of unsettling questions we should be dealing with for a long time to come. Do we err on the side of life or death? It’s a question that hits us on a lot of fronts. And, while I know Jonah’s right inasmuch it’s all so uncomfortable and unsettling and complicated in it’s ugly details that most people don’t have the time or mental energy to fully deal with them when we all have our own closer to home problems and decisions and tragedies to deal with. But, as a society, we need to be facing these issues, especially as technology only makes it easier to both end and create life.
