The culture of death is a culture of sterility either contraceptive or surgical or abortive.  The culture of death is one which elevates utility above humanity.  A culture of death is one which pits economic profitability against quality patient care.  A culture of death is one which operates out of a principle that the health of many justifies the direct and intentional destruction of a few.  A culture of death is one which looks almost exclusively at outcomes with less and less regard for the legitimacy of the means.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/2E649FC8-FB97-483D-B6F2-2C636D607915/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
