Quietly enthusiastic, wise beyond five years of my natural age which basically gives me the frightening authority of teaching young minds about the facts of life. I have an immense love for life and all the wonderful and wonderfully horrible things in and about it. And so I write, because so much life and love cannot be contained in a five foot, slightly chunky frame of a twenty-something-year-old.
"No decision is taken in a vacuum. Freedoms cannot be claimed or achieved independently of their impact on others. If they are, they become a tyranny. There is a tension between the principle of personal autonomy and the public good that we urgently need to negotiate for all concerned. I believe we can do this by recovering some of our most fundamental convictions about the value of human life..."
St. Ambrose
"Death was not part of nature; it became part of nature. God did not decree death from the beginning; he prescribed it as a remedy. Human life, because of sin...began to experience the burden of wretchedness in unremitting labour and unbearable sorrow. There had to be a limit to its evils; death had to restore what life had forfeited. Without the assistance of grace, immortality is more of a burden than a blessing."
