Why should this surprise any of us. It is the 21st-century version of eugenics, flowering from the abortion culture of the late 20th Century. Breed only those worthy of bred, discard the deformed, sterilize the rest, abort as much as you can. This is the same mentality used by Hitler in his ovens and gas chambers. It continues today.
We already let retarded babies die, cleft lip babies, etc, right in the hospitals. Soon this will be extended to older children with incurable diseases, old people, more Terri Schiavos everywhere, then perhaps, as Hitler had it, retarded, insane, criminals, political prisoners. Just hope you are on the right side of politics when your turn comes.

Really? My father was a twin born prematurely in 1922 and weighed 2 pounds, 4 ounces. He went on to fight WW2, both in the Army Air Corps and Patton's Third Army. He landed at Normandy and went on to liberate Buchenwald. After the war he was with the NYPD for 20 years, most of it as a detective. I suppose my grandmother and grandfather should have listed to this POS. Yeah, right!
Yes it is disgusting. My aunt delivered a premature baby, named Amy, many years ago. They left her by an open window to die. This type of behavior has been going on for years.
I just can't wait to read the replies to this thread : (
It sure is disgusting! Are they kidding? A squint? Meanwhile in a room nearby they are killing babies at 25-40 weeks at the the request of the parent. Refusing to save preemies. Wow. Hospitals, at least in Europe, are a dangerous place for babies! As a 32 wk preemie 'with a squint', I'm sure glad they decided I was worth it. So does my friend, mother of 2 28 wk babies and also my former college roomie, survived at 6.5 mos, no small feat a 35+ yrs ago. And my neighbor's daughter, now 8, born at 26 wks, her twin didn't survive, but her parents are sure happy to have a healthy, happy, nearsighted daughter!
Prof Singer from a New Jersey university doesn't think so.
He advocates the killing of babies too.
It's sick and getting sicker with each passing day.
GD Right, my friend. My Oldest Daughter was born at 27 weeks, a mere 1 pound 12 ounces, this proposal would not harm her from being resuciated, but I have seen the miracle of life in action with her. I am convinced that all babies no matter what their (Fetal) age should be revived and rehabilitated. I saw an episode of ER where they said they couldn't do anything for a 24 week old and let it die, That's BS. Doctor's should be willing to help any human life, no matter what, and devote ALL OF THEIR RESOURCES TO PRESERVING IT.
For those of us who were called nuts for saying abortion cheapened the value of a baby we are vindicated, but I would rather we were not right on this one...
A study of the most premature babies showed most went on to suffer disabilities. The EPICure study of babies born at 25 weeks or less, led by researchers at Nottingham University, found that, by the age of six, only 20% of surviving children had no disabilities; 22% had severe disabilities, including cerebral palsy; while 34% had milder problems such as a squint.
So to get this straight 54% (More than half) of kids born before 24 weeks (and survive) babies have little to know disability (if they are counting squint, they might as well put dandruff in there)...
In addition, it found that only 11% of all babies born at 23 weeks survived. Since the study began, however, care has improved and the figure is believed to be closer to 20%.
I think if any medical procedure only has an 11% survival rate we should outlaw it right? how stupid is that?

BRITAIN’S top medical ethics expert has urged doctors to let the most premature babies die, with treatment offered only in exceptional cases.
Baroness Warnock believes Britain should follow Holland in setting an age limit below which babies would not routinely be resuscitated.
And what makes her an expert? Her extraordinary enthusiasm for death and the efficient use of tax dollars? Calling her an expert on medical ethics is like calling Gary Coleman the next NBA MVP.
So he would have the unlucky ones born too young get knifed in the head during birth.
I agree:
In Holland, doctors do not routinely administer intensive care to babies born before 25 weeks of pregnancy.
Healthy adults will always be able to outvote the voiceless unborn. This brand of 'humanistic ethics' takes morality right down to the level of animal husbandry. Lovely.
Some things defy words. evil. pure evil.
I think I'd better add the Baroness to my tagline :-)

disgusted mom of a 27-weeker bttt
the ghouls.
That we are heading in this direction during a technical age when possibilities are endless never ceases to amaze me.
How sad.
