Alex Epstein 5. Junior fellow at the Ayn Rand Institute, 2005. “A Culture of Living Death,” March 31, Available Online at http://www.aynrand.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=10953&news_iv_ctrl=1087
Human life is sacred—not because of supernatural declaration, but because of the unique nature and glorious potential of the individual, rational human life: to think, to create, to love, to experience pleasure, to achieve happiness here on earth. A true "culture of life" would leave individuals free to pursue their own happiness—free from coercive injunctions to sacrifice themselves to religious dogma. Such a culture is what we must seek to create, as we do everything possible to fight religious conservatives' culture of living death.
