Ethical decisions

I do not know what to think about the Terri Schiavo situation. On the one hand, I believe the protection of life is important. On the other hand, is she really "living"? Have we over developed our technology without a good theological base for it to function properly?

Can technology and faith live together harmoniously? Living in a fallen world, what we create for good seems to always be tainted with our fallen nature. We corrupt the very things we create for good purposes.

I do not know what the ethical decision in the Terri Schiavo situation is. Living by faith in a fallen world is tough. Decisions are not always black and white. Living in the greys presents many quandries for faith (when both sides seem to have merit).

Many people will disagree with this and say it is very "black and white", I do not know if it is that easy. Maybe we should be looking at God's love?
