How Assisted Suicide Creates A Cascade Of Death After It Becomes Legal
THEFEDERALIST.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Hazar Imam, 1976: "What was once wrong is now simply unconventional, and for the sake of individual freedom must be tolerated. What is tolerated soon becomes accepted. Contrarily, what was once right is now viewed as outdated, old fashioned and is often the target of ridicule."] ARTICLE: "The way society looks at death is changing," says Kevin Dunn. "One might argue that we've become so desensitized by the culture, that even human life and death have become matters of personal choice." Promotion of assisted suicide revolves around autonomy and self-determination. Children as young as 12, under the influence of their guardians, can "consent" to be euthanized, given certain conditions. Belgium recently lifted all age restrictions on euthanasia. Annette Hanson said that her concern is "physicians will come to approach this as a suggested treatment option." The effects of legal assisted suicide has already reached insurance companies. Stephanie Packer: "When the [assisted suicide] law was passed, a week later I received a letter ...

THEEPOCHTIMES.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Mawlana Sultan Muhammad Shah:, 1955: "Learn to desire the thing that happens, and not try to mould events to their desires ... you should endeavour to suit your desire to the event, and not the event to your desire." ~~ Hazar Imam, 1996: "The right to hope is the most powerful human motivation I know."] ARTICLE: Mark O'Brien got polio in 1955, when he was six. He was completely paralyzed, spending his next 44 years in an iron lung but he refused fall prey to despondency. Mark graduated from U.C. Berkeley, became a published poet, journalist, essayist and was the subject of the Academy Award-winning documentary. Robert Salamanca, who died of ALS, said: "Euthanasia advocates believe they are doing people like me a favor. They are not. We, the terminally ill, often feel disheartened because of a false picture of what it is like to die created by these enthusiasts who prey on the misinformed. The pro-euthanasia followers are a great threat to the foundation upon which all life is based, and that is hope." Rosie Ashcraft, lives in British ...

Rubaiyat: A New Translation -- BoAI Vol #3
GOOGLE.COM -- Over the centuries, the delicate quatrains which made up the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, have undergone numerous translations of shich Edward FitzGerald's 19th-century effort has, to date, had no rival. FitzGerald has been Omar Khayyam. Robert Graves, the prominent English poet, was chosen by Omar Ali-Shah, a Persian scholar whose family owns a twelfth-century manuscript of the Rubaiyat, to render a new, more faithful, English translation which was published last year. Robert Graves has done away with rhymes, about which FitzGerald was meticulous enough to attempt an exact reproduction of the Omar Khayyam rhyme-scheme. I quote here Graves's rendering of the first quatrain to compare with FitzGerald's, which I quoted earlier ...

Think of Ismaili Digest as the Front Page of all the best Ismaili websites! Ismaili Digest automatically and continuously brings together all new articles, photos, videos, etc. from Ismaili websites -- like The Ismaili, Simerg, IIS, NanoWisdoms, AKDN, Ismailimail, etc. -- so you can see them all at once. Direct links to over 15,000 web-pages from the best Ismaili websites already available. Ismaili Digest saves you (and those who are not tech savvy, such as seniors) the effort of having to visit them one by one to keep up to date, or have your inbox cluttered with emails from each of them when they publish new content. In a busy world, our sense of belonging to our community sometimes tends to wither and fade (particularly for isolated Jamati members). We hope Ismaili Digest's simplicity and comprehensiveness will help you feel connected as well as feel the local and global pulse of the community. Like many other non-commercial, public-service thematic website aggregators, Ismaili Digest is just a thematic aggregator. We publish short 50-60 word digests of all their content and provide direct links to their original pages saving you time, extra page loads and clicks. For the website publishers, direct links ensure they'll get the maximum number of potential visitors reaching their content so their hard work gets the maximum exposure. Also featured are other important articles, research and opinions relevant to the community's well being, intellectual growth, best practises and administration. And all served with a drop of humour as well, because "we are a community that welcomes the smile!" Ismaili Digest is not associated with any private Ismaili website, whether aggregated by Ismaili Digest or not. All websites Ismaili Digest aggregates are independent websites run by their individual owners and we are not responsible for content they publish. |
