Question 1

What Does it Mean to be a Person With a Disability?

Accepted Answer

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one billion people, or 15% of the world’s population, experience some form of disability. They define a person with a disability as anyone who has “a problem in body function or structure, an activity limitation, has a difficulty in executing a task or action; with a participation restriction.”

People with a disability include those with visual or hearing impairment, ambulatory inabilities, and intellectual or mental disabilities. They can also be anyone with a wide range of disorders that are sensory, cognitive, psychological, or chronic.

Question 2

How Old Is Old?

Accepted Answer

A recent and frankly surprising 2018 statistic read, “the number of people older than 64 years old surpassed the number of children under 5 years old. This was the first time in history.” Some studies declare 60 is the number for old age while others say 65. In Australia, the age is as low as 50.

The United Nations claimed in 2017 the number of seniors globally was 962 million. In a world with a total population of 7.8 billion that may not seem like much, but consider the fact that the number doubled in just 40 years. It is estimated that there will be 2.1 billion people over the age of 60 by the year 2050.

What Are Preborn Disabilities?

What Are the Abortion Laws in Australia?

All Australian states and territories allow abortion, although some have more restrictions than others, like exceptions on gestational limits. 

For example, Australian Capital Territory allows for abortions up to 16 weeks gestation. In Victoria, abortion is available up to 24 weeks gestation. It’s permitted later if two medical providers agree it’s appropriate.

Question 5

What is the Sanctity of Human Life?

Accepted Answer

What could possibly be more valuable than life itself? God, our Creator and Sustainer, sequentially created the world with detail and intention. All of His creation is labeled as “good”, and humanity was granted dominion over his creation (Gen 1:28-30). From the beginning of time, God has deemed human life to be valuable, powerful, and distinct from the rest of creation. Human life is separate. It is unique. It is God’s masterpiece.

In the 21st century, humanity lives in a noisy world. We hear loud opinions, compelling advertisements, and conflicting ideas through a small device in our hands. We are overwhelmed with content, some of which is uplifting to the world, and some of which is destructive. When we come across content related to the sanctity of human life, we often read words written in cold and hostile tones. People are methodical and cerebral as we ruthlessly defend our opinions.

The Sanctity of Human Life is a discussion worthy of cerebral, sturdy, and sensical argumentation. However, it is too important of a discussion to be cold and heartless. The Sanctity of Human Life is a cause that is near to the heart of God. When we talk about life, we must do so aligned with the mind and heart of Jesus.
