I have worked my way through Dignitas Infinita and I do not find a lot to get worked up over, and have found quite a bit to praise.
Apart from the unusually precise language about the ills of gender ideology and surrogacy and human trafficking I very much appreciated the section on euthanasia particularly "suffering does not cause the sick to lose their dignity, which is intrinsically and inalienably their own"
This is such a short but important sentence. We have such a skewed view of what a "good death is". I can't tell you how many people I've heard say " I want to go out on my own terms, with dignity, not decaying in a hospital bed".
You have never seen more dignity than watching someone with terminal cancer strive to the finish line, bearing their torment and offering it up. It's not "pretty" but dignity isn't about dying with a full head of hair and perfect teeth with a smile on your face before your time is up. It's about accepting the cup and saying "your will be done".
