Today's Joint Editorial Against Capital Punishment | National Catholic Reporter by MSW: This is an interesting development and I hope it coincides with filing an Amicus brief with the SCOTUS on the extant case. The only thing more pro-life would be to mandate a child friendly wage for all children and from all employers - with the support of the tax system, the departisanship of the abortion debate, a commitment to life for the unborn from all Catholics as well as an abortion bill that settles all issues as best they can be. Of course, that would be a very left wing vision and the women of the teachers unions would not likely sign on.
I still have some concerns about this lawsuit. We are following, rather than leading, the drug companies on this. Their decision to drop this line of business and the horrors following from amateur pharmacology in pro-death states have given us nothing but horrors. However, a well formulated lethal cocktail may be essential to executing some - those that we are unable to reach by resocialization and pyschiatry, who still pose a danger to staff and fellow inmate alike - the unredeemable sociopath - must either be confined alone for the rest of their lives (which will make anyone crazy) - with the state remaining the cause of their death, albeit by slow personal torture - or we can give them a shot without ceremony or announcement. We seem to have Euthanasia worked out commerically. I am sure it will work here.
Educating the dangerous is included in the rights and obligations of the king. We are now the kings and we cannot ignore this duty. Its not a question of rights sometimes, its a question of danger and the duty to stop it. That is where the Church has a blind spot - thinking that only God has the right and duty. Nothing is further from the truth. Not a culture of death, just of reality.
