Our generation is mortgaging our children's future and the future of our planet. The human rights sub-section has been representative of the Anglican Communion throughout the world and has shared stories about the violation of human rights in different countries. This is reflected in our report. We know that unprecedented technological changes will take place in our world in the next decade. For unimaginable technological changes have taken place since we met ten years ago.
Technology is power which brings great promise for a better life and a better world.
But this power can also corrupt and destroy God's creatures and God's creation. Our call is to use this power appropriately and reverently, reminding ourselves that we are at all times accountable to God. This section calls for the establishment of a commission through the ACC to keep track of technological developments and to reflect on them theologically and ethically. And if all that I have said is not enough - the section had also to consider euthanasia. Reject calls for the legalisation of euthanasia as being against Christian conscience which upholds the sacredness of life as a gift from God.
