Stories of triumph over adversity

Stories of Triumph over adversity

Saw this article on the Christian Medical Comment website.
Some of the links are interesting given the cureent debate over assisted dying/suicide

from Simon Barnes in the Times

These words from The Times by somebody who is not a Christian but I think all humans are made in The image of God.It is there our value is found

"What is Eddie for? A question worth asking, I think. The Nazis sent people with Down’s to the ovens, because they polluted the purity of the race. And before we shudder at such barbarity, we should remember that most women pregnant with a baby with Down’s syndrome choose to abort. It’s clear that many people believe that a child with Down’s has no point: that such a being is extraneous to human needs, a mere burden on society and, in particular, on the parents. Best get rid of them.

The reality of Eddie’s life contradicts all that. At school, he is held very dear. The headmistress has said that her school is a better place for his presence: because Eddie is there, the school’s small society has become more caring, more gentle, more at ease with itself."

Death is not dying- Well worth watching!
