The Culture of Death scored big last week as the British Parliament voted to forward a bill that will legalize what is called “assisted death” in England and Wales. The legislative move sets the stage for negotiations over a final form of the bill, but the velocity of Britain’s slide into the list of nations that enable and encourage their citizens to end their own lives, well, that’s now already evident.

How did this happen?

The move to legalize “assisted death” can succeed only when certain moral absolutes are undermined, and those moral absolutes rest on explicitly Christian foundations. The most crucial of these foundations is the knowledge that life is a precious gift granted by the Creator, who alone holds the power to give and to take life.

The Culture of Death scored big in Britain last week, and its deadly logic is almost certain to spread. This is a horrifying rejection of Christian conscience and Biblical truth. Then again, that’s exactly what you must expect from a post-Christian culture. A secular morality simply cannot sustain an ethic of life.
