To save a life.


"I had the money to buy her life."


I heard an interesting story today. One line stood out to me. A woman was paying for a surgery for a small girl in Africa. Through encouraging this medical procedure, a small African family was left without the oldest daughter as well as their mother for three months. The daughter ended up dying anyways. The woman was devastated, and made the comment, "I had the money to buy her life." Buying life. Because technology is there, life is possible, some people get to play God in the influence that they have over others. Are they task-masters? Saviors? People with good intentions who cause irreparable damage? How do you play God, and what is the degree of your awareness in these situations?
