No charges for dutch doctors who euthanized babies
WE ARE NO LONGER ON A SLIPPERY SLOP
Doctors in Holland who euthanized infants with disabilities will not face charges, according to a report published in the Dutch Journal of Medicine. In the past seven years, 22 cases of euthanasia were reported for babies born with spina bifida, a birth defect affecting the spinal column. Another study found that an additional 15 to 20 babies a year are euthanized but not reported for fear of prosecution. Dutch prosecutors have decided not to charge the doctors in cases such as these, as long as it involves a newborn who has no chance of survival and is suffering unbearably, the parents have agreed, the doctor has consulted at least one other doctor, and the infant’s life was ended in a correct medical way.
Supporters hope that this decision will encourage doctors to report these cases and be open about it. Some media have criticized the practice, including America’s Fox News which likened the baby euthanasia to the Nazi murder of Anne Frank.
Go away. You have hundreds of TS threads to haunt. Leave us alone.
Nonsense.
You are free to ignore it. If it offends you so, why stay on it?
"WE ARE NO LONGER ON A SLIPPERY SLOP"
But we are obviously getting SLOPpy.

I am asking you civilly to please stop the spamming. If you persist, I will have to use the Abuse feature.
No it's not. I think you've misunderstood most of us here. I am not pro-euthanisia, I am just against the hysterics, hyperbole, distortions and general ugliness that are running rampant in most other threads.
