The overwhelming defeat of Bill C-384 proved that we can Push-Back the euthanasia lobby in the US and Canada and convince people that euthanasia and assisted suicide are a dangerous public policy.

Alas modern Quantum mechanics discredits this argument. Using Fr. Barron's of motion as "motus" or change one encounters all sorts of changes in the atomic or quantum realm that have no cause. The simplest is perhaps the process of radioactive decay that science has studied for over a hundred years. There is no cause for it, it occurs randomly, only having a probability of happening per unit time.
ReplyDeleteOne doesn't fault Aquinas for not knowing this but given the results of modern science one can't advocate that proof any more.
Note : Aquinas didn't understand infinite series ass Zeno's paradox was still a puzzle at that time. It took Newton/Lebnitz to discover calculus and make that paradox no more.
