“I had heard this was a good book and read it. I was horrified.”
That was the reaction from a friend of mine to the book Me Before You, which has been made into a major motion picture hitting theaters this weekend.
Last Friday I talked to Mike Allen about why Me Before You is yet another bad chapter in Hollywood’s treatment of disability, assisted suicide.
We also discussed how, despite popular belief, the Catholic Church is actually very scientifically progressive.

Rebecca Frech also has some good discussion questions for anyone reading or planning on seeing Me Before You.

One Comment on “Audio: On Me Before You and the Scientifically Progressive Catholic Church”
Thank you for speaking out against this shallow, superficial, selfish movie!! This is the first I have heard about it and I am so angry that it is being shown in movie theaters. I have a beautiful, young daughter who uses a wheelchair but also leads a very full, rich and blessed life. I’d say her life has been far more fruitful and loving then any or all of the people in Hollywood combined. What a bunch of idiots!
