I am a rational liberal, yet a question about the sanctity of life floored me | Sonia Sodha

Liberalism has much to offer, but there are risks in embracing it as an overarching political philosophy without a degree of humility about its shortcomings.

This queasiness about morality means liberals sometimes look the other way when others smuggle in controversial ethical assumptions under the guise of choice and autonomy.

Assisted dying is going to dominate politics in the coming months .

On prenatal screening, we need to think about where we draw the line in terms of what types of information form the basis of legitimate and illegitimate reproductive choices.

We need to consider what the illusion of choice and control over who our children turn out to be does to our shared sense of what it means to be a parent.

There’s shame on the liberal left associated with admitting to moral instincts that can’t fully be explained through rationale or reason.
