Singer went on to say, “I don’t want my health insurance premiums to be higher so that infants who can experience zero quality of life can have expensive treatments.”

And WHO EXACTLY gets to define "quality of life"?

I know a man whose brother was killed on Mengele's orders because he had a slight limp. Over 90% of babies with Down Syndrome are aborted.

"Quality of life" is nothing more than an excuse to create death panels.

Singer sure seems like a nazi to me.

In Romania it could be because you had ears that stuck out.

In the USSR is was because you lived. A nurse there took a late term abortion baby home because the hospital refused to give him any care. They let her because they thought the child would die. But he did not. Under her care he thrived. When he was a few months old they took him away because she was not his legal mother and placed him in an orphanage. Where he weakened and died.

The Fabian socialists get to decide who lives and who dies. Remember H. Clinton is a disciple of Margaret Sangar, the founder of Planned Parenthood.

Isn't Peter Singer also the one who put in a book that parents should have the right to abort up to 5 years old? Could being a Christian also be deemed a disability?

“zero quality of life” = “Life not Worth Living” - Sieg Hiel!

Definitely do your homework

[Svartalfiar]

Should severely disabled infants be killed to reduce health-care costs? Singer did not respond directly, but he said that caring for them should not necessarily be covered by a national health service.

I'm sure he thinks so, he just didn't want to say it outright. He is right on the second point though, cause there shouldn't be a national health service at all!

The problem with Singer isn’t that he failed to “do his homework”. He knows what he’s saying all right.

who can experience zero quality of life

Those like Professor Singer who advocate the eugenicist position may well have attained that zero quality, but I hope they snap out of it.
