So, is it the "active termination" part that is the hangup?
Absolutely.
Mr. K was wrong in his initial assessment (or inference) that the article was referring to the witholding of care for essentially "terminally ill" infants.
Upon further review and analysis of the "Groningen protocol", I find it to be a poisonous outgrowth of the callous disregard for human life that has been building strength in the last several decades. It is another slide down the slippery slope to a place where we imagine that we can somehow quantify the quality of someone else's life.
Poisonous, immoral, and unethical in the extreme. I stand against this hideous evil.
