April 13, 2023
Conscience
It isn’t a secret that the U.S. military is growing increasingly woke. But as it embraces progressive social values, are the services becoming concomitantly less tolerant of faith — or perhaps better stated, uncomprehending of its importance to believing members? Read More ›

Todd Myers on Democratizing Environmentalism by ‘Thinking Small’

Todd Myers
April 10, 2023

The environmental movement is growing ever-more extreme. Radical ideas such as granting rights to nature—including geological features like rivers, lakes, and glaciers—are gaining popularity as a means of “saving the planet.” But is there another way?

Transhumanists’ Futile Quest for Eternal Life

Wesley J. Smith
April 9, 2023
Transhumanism
I understand the yearning of atheists and materialists to escape the nihilism that the expectation of personal obliteration at death can generate in the human heart. But eternal life is not something that we have the power to invent — no matter how technologically advanced we become.

Terri Schiavo Case Was a Culture-of-Death Tipping Point

Wesley J. Smith
March 28, 2023
Euthanasia
The March 31, 2005, court-ordered death of Terri Schiavo was an ominous cultural tipping point. As many readers will recall, the legal case began when Terri’s husband Michael Schiavo applied to remove the feeding tube from his profoundly cognitively disabled wife so that she would die by dehydration. When Terri’s parents Bob and Mary Schindler, joined by her siblings Bobby and Suzanne, fought the plan in court, profoundly important cultural and legal battle lines were drawn that were destined to change the country.

Belgium to Allow Repeated Gender Changes

Wesley J. Smith
March 28, 2023
Transgenderism
We live in an irrational age. Germany allows people to change their gender once a year by simply filing an official form. And now, Belgium is about to allow people to change gender — apparently, whenever they want. Read More ›

Death Activists Oppose Limits on Virtual Access to Assisted Suicide

Wesley J. Smith
March 22, 2023
Euthanasia
Assisted-suicide advocates say they believe in “strict guidelines to guard against abuse.” They don’t. They write bills as broadly as they deem politically expedient and then expand access as people become accustomed to doctors prescribing overdoses to ill, suicidal patients. Read More ›
