Are actions such as abortion and assisted suicide deliberately seeded into the consciousness of humanity to create karmic debt?

They can be. This is a very complex subject for people do these acts for many, many, varied reasons. The basic message we wish to give humans at this point is that life is eternal, the soul is immortal. There are no truly big problems. Any act resulting in the death of another is not as grave as it might seem because of the ultimate longevity of all involved, but yet there will be karmic consequences, and a karmic payback when harm is caused. So if the life that is taken has been prevented from flourishing and learning, and helping the lives of the host, and the family that the soul was destined to join, there will be a karmic consequence to any involved in taking that life. There are many circumstances where abortion is not the travesty it might seem to the true believer in sanctity of life. Many times the pregnancy is unwanted and the consequences of going forward would serve to cause much harm to many involved—especially the mother bearing the burden. But also to the young life who is nourished under very, very difficult circumstances where there may be lack, emotional abuse, or neglect, because of the stress, and the need to make a living, and have income to support the child and so on. In that context, abortion is the lesser of evils. So in the same sense that two wrongs do not make a right, there are evils and lesser evils, all have a karmic debt associated, and all are undesirable, but sometimes life forces people to be at the fork of such a road and then they must choose. So it is difficult to know the future, and so the people who continue to suffer with a difficult situation may be hewing to spiritual principles they have learned from the Scriptures, for example. But it still may not be what is highest and best. So we would caution all to not judge others, for they do not truly know the particular circumstances and the destinies of those individuals. This is something unknowable to human at this point. The same is true of assisted suicide. There are circumstances where suffering is such a tremendous magnitude it is truly a blessing to have a way to escape. And because the individual and their growth and soul's progression is not served by being in constant torment, such an act of assistance is a true blessing, and will advance that soul journey, and will be a blessing and an act of loving kindness on the part of the facilitator. But as with all things, rules are merely general guidelines. And there are always many nuances, many exceptions. So this allowance is very likely to be abused, where people would be brought to early termination through the greed of relatives who have the possibility of control, and then act in selfish interests to terminate the life of a loved one. It can also be an inappropriate decision on the part of individuals who may be unbalanced but temporarily so, and the assumption being that healing is impossible. It may be tempting to give in to what is seemingly desired by the person, and to honor their wishes to exit, when in fact the situation might be entirely healable with the proper healing intervention. We appreciate that very few have access to appropriate care because of the current state of affairs with medicine, in particular in psychological treatment and therapies. So this is a dilemma that will occur again, and again, and again. So the best we can do here is to say if the people who make the assistance do mean well, and are acting from the heart, with loving intention, even if this is not ideal, their karmic debt will be less than if they do so for selfish motives and with malicious intent. So as in all choices in life one does the best they can, and ideally will choose to follow divine principles and act on the side of love, and vote with love. This is the best guidance we can give in general terms.
