It's amazing that people there are puzzled why the Muslims are taking over there, when things like this happen with little to no reaction from them.

[Pyro7480]

Pro-life ping!

[joesnuffy]

Yep...the commies and the muzzies are teamates...playing for the same false god

[mainepatsfan]

Sounds like something right out of the Third Reich.

[Lucretia Borgia]

This should be called a "post birth abortion".

[Pyro7480]

At least the Muslims have the (small) sense not to abort their kids. But I think that's more for propagation purposes than anything else.

[chs68]

Pray.

And keep praying.

[mainepatsfan]

If they aborted them they couldn't be used as suicide bombers.

Princeton's Dr. Singer would be proud of 'em.....

"Measures that might marginally extend a child's life by minutes or hours or days or weeks are stopped. This happens routinely, namely, every day," said Lance Stell, professor of medical ethics at Davidson College and staff ethicist at Carolinas Medical Center in the United States. "Everybody knows that it happens, but there's a lot of hypocrisy. Instead, people talk about things they're not going to do."

Specifically, he is referring to FEEDING and HYDRATING kids. "Damaged" kids are starved to death regularly.

These folks miss the obvious -- leaving aside the VERY obvious immorality of deliberately terminating a human life. They obviously don't give a flip for moral questions, so let's consider the real-world aspect here.

As long as the procedure is illegal and doctors run the risk of prosecution and ostracism for carrying it out, there will be few cases of euthanasia and only in the most extreme situations.

Once it's legal and all aboveboard, they will start killing folks left and right (it's already happened in the Netherlands with the elderly and the terminally ill.) With no restrictions and no shame, the floodgates open. Babies will be killed for convenience and to avoid expensive hospital bills, just as the elderly and sick are being killed now to open up hospital beds and hurry up the inheritances of their greedy relatives.

These people have no sense. Truly, once you abandon morality you are prey for stupidity.

[Pyro7480]

My thought exactly...

Dr. Josef Mengele is still alive and kicking, 26 years after his death.

[AnAmericanMother]

Ooops, a good reason to reconsider Davidson College as a destination for my firstborn . . .

(We'd already pretty much ruled out Princeton, my alma mater and home of the infamous Singer.)

Tell me there are no crazies like this at Washington & Lee! Please!

[broadsword]

Good God have mercy on us and deliver us from our own evil!

[AppyPappy]

"Doctor, grandmother's quality of life is so low, we can't see her recovering and we hate to see her suffer like this. Can you do something?"
"If necessary, we can end her suffering with dignity. When can we do it?"
"Not until next week. She's on holiday in Madrid"

[Pyro7480]

Only 26 years!?

and they call it "let nature take it's course".

So what's the solution here? To force the parents to quickly exhaust their life savings paying for a life that will be lived in pain and suffering and possibly on life support and constant medication? Or to hand the children over to the gov't and let the Nanny State raise them?

I know that I wouldn't want my tax dollars to go towards such health care expenses.

I don't know the answer but I know not to judge until I've walked a mile in one of those parents' shoes.

This is exactly what Francis A. Schaeffer and C. Everett Koop described in their book, "Whatever Happened to the Human Race?"
