Reminders: As you respond to your class’s post, review the expectations for thoughtful, valuable, and timely communication outlined in the “Discussion Forum Rubric.” Additionally, even though you are only responsible for responding to your assigned topic, we will use all four posted topics in our class discussion; prepare accordingly.
Huttmann presents two opposing ideas of God’s role in human life and death. For the member of Phil Donahue’s audience, only God can decide to stop someone’s life; anyone who tries to make that decision is “play[ing] God” (par. 2). For Huttmann, in contrast, sustaining life artificially is “meddling in God’s work” (par. 11). Reflect and respond: Although Huttmann presents both sides, how does her essay convince you which side to take, or do your own personal beliefs prevent you from considering her position?
