Law, Morality And The Decline Of The Family, Arthur Lang

Arthur Lang

Morality, rights and justice are not determined by the will of a majority, but are logical concepts. A moral statement asserts to be valid for everyone. This paper demonstrates the rationality of distinguishing between true marriage and so-called same gender marriage, between omissions and commissions of acts, and between withdrawal of medical treatment and euthanasia. Additionally, the paper advocates the right a parent to keep a child alive against a medical community that seeks his or her termination.
