(s)the government has a interest in protecting the "right to compassion" for fetuses to ensure they are born with no genetic defects. A law should be passed mandating gene tests and if defective mandatory abortion. Of course the women will recieve a tax credit. It is for the children. Society has a collective right to ensure unneeded costs of defective genes is not continued. Of course the program is optional for religious objections but those who object are ineligive to any public benefits, student loans, or any federal or state monies.(/s)
Disability group urges against euthanasia (Australia)
http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200503/s1332213.htm
ACT disability support groups have called on Australian governments to resist pressure to legalise euthanasia.
Craig Wallace, from the People with Disabilities, says the case of Terry Schiavo in the United States should serves as a warning.
Mr Wallace says even the most severely disabled have a right to life.
"Whatever you might think of the particular right-to-life case, what's happening to Terry is very cruel and unusual," he said.
"We think there is room for clarity in the Australian context and I would certainly call on the ACT Government to bring in laws to ensure something like this can never happen in the ACT."
