Mother and doctors found guilty of murder after late-term 'abortion' of baby born alive and put in freezer to die

A South Korean woman and two doctors have been convicted of murder after a baby delivered by caesarian section was placed in a freezer and left to die.

Prosecutors said the child was born alive at 36 weeks before the killing took place. Medical records were later falsified to indicate the baby had been stillborn.

The case marks the first time murder charges have been brought in South Korea against a woman over what has been described as a late-term termination, as well as against the doctors involved.

The woman, identified only by her surname, Kwon, is in her 20s. She told the court she did not know the procedure would be carried out in that manner.

In 2024, Kwon posted a YouTube video describing how she had terminated her pregnancy at 36 weeks, which led to a police investigation into her and the medical staff involved.

Prosecutors said that after the baby was delivered alive but the hospital's director and the surgeon placed the infant in a freezer, where it later died.

Hospital staff then altered Kwon's medical records to make it appear as though she had suffered a stillbirth.

During the trial, both the hospital director and the surgeon admitted to killing the baby and were taken into custody immediately after the verdict was delivered. According to prosecutors, the hospital received a total of 1.4billion won to perform abortions on more than 500 patients, BBC News reported. Many of the women, including Kwon, had reportedly been referred to the hospital through brokers.

In January, prosecutors sought a 10-year prison sentence for the hospital director and six-year terms for Kwon and the operating surgeon.

Kwon's lawyer argued that she was unaware that the baby would be killed after being removed from her womb.

(after late-term 'abortion' of baby BORN ALIVE)

DEMOCRAT Son of Satan Barack Hussein Obama
would have killed it. It's what he does.

Republican Alan Keyes said that Democrat
Barack Hussein Obama supported INFANTICIDE

Alan Keyes was 100% correct in his assessment

The question is “Why?” Why would the doctors knowingly conspire to kill this infant, when it appears the Mother wanted this Baby?

**Something a Commenter said on Daily Mail Comments Section.
Cannot be verified:
I have read about a similar treatment happening years ago around 1975, in the U.S., when a Baby with two heads was born alive. That Baby was put into some empty room, and simply allowed to pass away. The Mother was told she just had a stillbirth.

In an extreme situation, such as (theoretically) a known murderer attacking my wife, I would without hesitation pull the trigger to kill him. However, even in such a situation, I would have some angst about having to do such a thing.

What kind of lack of conscience must someone have to put an innocent newborn in a freezer to die?

I’m wondering the same thing. This is really messed up. Sounds like the doctors were up to something.

What, were they saving it for a meal later? They can still have dog meat for another year until it’s illegal.
