  On Assisted Suicide

  Assisted suicide and euthanasia are being legalized or at least debated throughout much of the world today. But should suicide ever be assisted? When someone is suffering and no longer wants to live, and asks another to help him end his life, what is the right response? In this powerful volume in Word on Fire’s Dignity Series, Stephanie Gray Connors engages both the mind and the heart in answering these increasingly urgent questions. Through ten proposed principles to help guide the conversation, On Assisted Suicide will draw readers into the mysteries of joy and suffering, life and death, and the unconditional dignity of the human person.   Why dignity? Because human dignity (dignitas, the worthiness of each person) is the foundation of all human society. Jacques Maritain, the Catholic philosopher who helped draft the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, affirmed this in saying, “The privilege connected with the dignity of the person is inalienable, and human life involves a sacred right.”  In a time of political polarization, social division, and the ongoing “culture wars,” the Dignity Series aims to refocus our attention on human dignity. The series enters into the great mystery of human life with wonder and reverence, and unflinchingly faces grave threats to human dignity, many of them ignored in the culture today.  Each volume in the series will examine one of those threats, drawing on rational argument, spiritual sources, and above all, personal stories that take readers into the lived experience on the frontier of the issue. This broad mix of ideas and approaches acknowledges that a wide variety of backgrounds and personalities shape how we interact with these questions—and that if a book is to help us grow, it has to stir our hearts as well as activate our minds. The Dignity Series emerges out of and points back to the whole-life ethic of Catholic social teaching, which is grounded in the principle of human dignity. “Social justice,” the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches, “can be obtained only in respecting the transcendent dignity of man” (CCC 1929). And that dignity, on the Catholic reading, can only finally rest on our status as creatures made in the image and likeness of God (Gen. 1:26). However, these books are for anyone—Catholic or non-Catholic, religious or nonreligious—who wrestles with these issues and longs to see a more informed and considerate approach to them.

  You are a Scrum Master and you have a challenge: 
  You are coaching a new Product Owner doing release planning for the first time.  There are three politically powerful stakeholders who each wan their project included as your team's highest priority.  It is clear that due to the lack of resources it will be a miracle if even one of the enhancements can be delivered.   
  The Product Owner asks you what should he do?   Which project should he pick and how can he avoid trouble from the two stakeholders who must be disappointed? 
  This case and the others in the series come from the real-world experiences of a group of Scrum professionals who meet regularly to discuss the Scrum Framework and how to apply it to actual situations they have encountered.  These discussions have been led since 2015 by Frederik Mark Fowler, A Doctor of Scrum and Holder of the Professional Scrum Master level III certification awarded by Scrum.org.  Fred has worked with the Scrum Framework for almost 20 years and has trained more then 300 people to become Scrum Masters and Product Owners.

  The Shocking Truth about Digital...

  In today’s hyper-connected world, privacy is often taken for granted—or worse, dismissed as an outdated concern. We live in an era where our personal data is treated as currency, constantly collected, analyzed, and monetized by corporations, governments, and cybercriminals alike. Every search query, online purchase, and social media interaction contributes to a vast digital profile that shapes how businesses market to us, how financial institutions assess us, and even how law enforcement monitors us. But how much do we really understand about who is collecting our data and for what purpose?  
    
  Most people assume that their digital activities are relatively private—secured by passwords, encryption, and privacy settings. Yet, the reality is far more unsettling. Companies track our browsing habits even when we’re in “incognito” mode, apps request permissions far beyond what’s necessary, and smart devices listen in on conversations, all in the name of “improving user experience.” Governments worldwide deploy mass surveillance programs under the justification of national security, while hackers exploit weak security measures to access personal and financial information. Even when we willingly share details about our lives, such as through social media, we rarely consider the long-term consequences of this exposure.  
    
  Perhaps the most alarming aspect of digital privacy erosion is how seamlessly it has integrated into our daily lives. From social media giants like Facebook and TikTok to search engines like Google, nearly every digital service we rely on operates under a business model that thrives on harvesting user data. The more these companies know about us—our habits, preferences, and even emotions—the better they can predict and manipulate our behavior. This is the foundation of surveillance capitalism, an industry built on turning our personal lives into profit.
