The Sunday New York Times has an opinion piece entitled “The Good Short Life” describing a man’s struggle with Lou Gerhig’s disease and his decision to take his own life at some point. Classifying this piece as an opinion piece makes sense when we consider that emotion, rather than reason, is the basis of public debate today. As a legislator once told me, “Facts tell, but stories sell.” Most of us remember compelling stories more easily than the most precise and carefully reasoned arguments. The prolife movement must present compelling stories to win the public debate of euthanasia and abortion.
