It critiques modern Western culture for lacking humility about life and death, noting how dominion over life at conception influences attitudes at life&#8217;s end. The piece highlights the recent joint <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/assisted-suicide-group-teams-up-with-planned-parenthood-honcho\/\" title=\"Assisted Suicide Group Teams Up With Planned Parenthood Honcho\">assisted suicide<\/a> of the 89-year-old German Kessler twins-famous entertainers who had no terminal illnesses but chose to die together after joining an assisted-suicide advocacy group. Their decision is seen as illustrating a cultural disrespect for life and death, especially in societies where convenience sometimes dictates death at life&#8217;s begining and end. Contrasting this,conservative commentator Tucker Carlson&#8217;s respectful stance on death is presented as a model of humility,acknowledging death&#8217;s mysteries and God&#8217;s ultimate authority over life and death,supported by biblical references. The article concludes by urging cultural repentance and a renewed respect for life while refraining from criticizing those who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/alzheimers-association-hides-new-partnership-with-lobbying-group-for-assisted-suicide-2\/\" title=\"Alzheimer&#039;s Association Hides New Partnership With Lobbying Group for ...\">choose assisted suicide<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A person&rsquo;s attitude toward death probably says a great deal about his or her spiritual condition.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, in a culture that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-women-shriek-celebration-right-murder-children-voted-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">celebrates<\/a> dominion over human life at conception, one cannot expect the proper degree of humility to prevail near the end of life, either.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/11\/18\/entertainment\/kessler-twins-die-assisted-suicide-intl-scli\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNN<\/a>, Alice and Ellen Kessler, the 89-year-old German twins who performed alongside the greatest entertainers of the postwar era in Europe and the United States, died Monday in Munich, Germany, by joint assisted suicide.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, the famous sisters had no known terminal illnesses.

Thus, though we cannot endorse the practice, we can at least understand the motive behind it.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, however, the Kessler twins apparently had no such motive. They simply wanted to die together.<\/p>\n<p>That kind of attitude seems more likely to develop in cultures where people demonstrate insufficient respect for life and death. In the modern West, for instance, the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >dominant secular culture treats human beings<\/a> as most inconvenient at the beginning and end of life. For convenience&rsquo;s sake, therefore, some must die.<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, consider conservative commentator Tucker Carlson&rsquo;s reaction to the death of former Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/breaking-dick-cheney-vice-president-george-w-bush-dies-84\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dick Cheney<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with podcaster Megyn Kelly, Carlson refused to criticize the late Cheney, whom he regarded as a warmonger.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I have great respect for death,&rdquo; Carlson said <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/search?q=Tucker%20Carlson%20on%20death%20of%20Dick%20Cheney&amp;src=typed_query&amp;f=top\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in a clip<\/a> posted to the social media platform X. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve seen a lot of it, and I&rsquo;m opposed to it. I will just say that.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>That line drew a laugh, as Carlson intended.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;But I have reverence for it,&rdquo; he continued. &ldquo;And I just don&rsquo;t &mdash; if you&rsquo;re not, like, back on your heels a little bit in the face of death and just acknowledging that there are mysteries no human mind can comprehend and sort of humble in the face of it, then you&rsquo;re not really in touch with your best parts. You&rsquo;re not fully human. So I just don&rsquo;t criticize people when they die.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>For a much higher authority than the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/twitter-suspends-conservative-pundit-allie-beth-stuckey-for-stating-that-transgender-weightlifter-is-a-man\/\" title=\"Twitter Suspends Conservative Pundit Allie Beth Stuckey For Stating That Transgender Weightlifter is a Man\">popular conservative commentator<\/a>, recall that the Bible, too, reminds us that life and death remains God&rsquo;s prerogative.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Lord kills and brings to life; he brings down to Sheol and raises up.&rdquo; (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=1%20Samuel%202%3A6&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I Samuel 2:6<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, the same humility should teach us how to treat our earthly bodies.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.&rdquo; (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=1%20Corinthians%206%3A19-20&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1 Corinthians 6:19-20<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>In short, we should follow Carlson in not criticizing the Kessler twins, now that they have chosen to die. But we also pray that those who have shaped the culture of death in which the twins made that choice will soon repent of their arrogance and find their way back to God.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
