Unelected Elites Pushing Assisted Suicide? This Is What a Culture of Death Produces
The Guardian recently published an opinion piece lamenting that “unelected lords” in the UK Parliament are blocking an assisted-suicide bill. The author frames this as a “democratic outrage.” But the real outrage is the moral blindness on display: the open glorification of helping someone kill themselves—and the expectation that a civilized society must accept it as progress.
This is what happens when a culture abandons the value of human life.
And make no mistake: this “death culture” didn’t start with end-of-life cases. It began the moment nations—including our own—legalized the killing of the unborn and redefined human life as something disposable, conditional, or inconvenient.
Once a society decides certain human beings may be intentionally killed, the only debate becomes who’s next.
A Culture That Normalizes Death Will Demand More of It
The Guardian’s writer portrays assisted suicide as compassionate, enlightened, and overdue. He mocks safety concerns, dismisses the moral objections of lawmakers, and treats the intentional ending of a human life as if it were simply another modern policy reform.
This is the inevitable logic of a system that has already embraced abortion on demand:
If the child in the womb is not protected,
if life is reduced to subjective “quality” rather than intrinsic worth,
if killing can be reframed as care,
then assisted suicide becomes the next predictable step.
When you normalize the killing of the innocent, eventually killing the suffering, the disabled, the elderly, or the despairing starts to look “reasonable.”
This is not progress. It is a warning.
We Don’t Need More Death. We Need a Culture of Life.
Missouri faces the exact same crossroads.
Radicals across the nation push the lie that killing—whether it’s an unborn child or a suffering adult—is a form of compassion. They hide behind euphemisms like “assisted dying,” “reproductive freedom,” or “bodily autonomy.”
But words can’t erase reality:
Assisted suicide is suicide.
Abortion is the killing of a child.
And both flow from the same poisonous root: the belief that some lives simply don’t matter.
That’s why our fight here in Missouri matters so profoundly.
The new Amendment 3 is more than a policy proposal. It’s a declaration of the kind of state we intend to be—a state that protects life, supports mothers, safeguards children from harmful procedures, and holds the medical industry accountable when it harms, lies, or exploits.
Amendment 3 stands in stark contrast to the growing global push to make death a medical treatment.
Missouri Can Lead the Nation Back Toward Life
While other governments debate how to expand death, Missouri has the opportunity to expand hope.
Passing the new Amendment 3 would:
Restore legal protections for unborn children
Protect minors from irreversible sex-change procedures
Enforce strict medical accountability
Rebuild a culture where every human life—at every stage—is valued and defended
This is how civilization is preserved—not through the “progress” of assisted suicide or the callousness of disposable children, but through courage, compassion, and the conviction that life is sacred.
The Guardian’s article shows exactly where the culture of death leads.
Missouri must choose a different path.
It starts by passing Amendment 3 and leading the nation toward a culture of life.
