Folks, you can't make this stuff up.Here's Wesley J. Smith's observations about how the Swiss constitution's respect for "the dignity of creation when handling animals, plants and other organisms" has now been interpreted by government-appointed ethicists; namely, to protest the arbitrary "killing" of plants.
Yes, the newest fad in the West's passion to demean the uniqueness of man, its determination to denounce God by rejecting man's creation in His image, is to elevate the dignity of animals, plants and even the inanimate matter of our environment.
And the icing on this cake of irrationality, of course, is that the Swiss government approves of and even promotes both abortion and assisted suicide. Man can be so disrespected that he is arbitrarily killed. But take care of how you treat your oatmeal.
Don't miss Smith's article, "The Silent Scream of the Asparagus," over at The Weekly Standard.
