Barbara McKee: The worth of a life
Official's spine-chilling suggestion dredges up some hard questions
(excerpts)
Barbara McKee reflects on the official, Lister in England.
Lister, 79, said: "I would guillotine them. These are children you can't educate. It's merely a matter of caring for them until they die. The only difference between a terminally ill patient and a severely handicapped child is time."
Many parents are faced with the gut-wrenching decision of what to do when their child is born with severe disabilities that might never improve. Do they allow the child to die or fight for life? What will society say either way? How will they sleep at night regardless of their decision?
As a disabled person from birth, I cannot be so black and white about this issue. Soon I will be undergoing major surgery that may or may not improve my life. I'm struggling over whether to post a "Do Not Resuscitate" sign over my bed.

Speaking for me, 8mm, as a parent of a disabled person from birth, we had no such questions as she poses. There was no dilemma, no gut wrenching decisions. Choose life, that's all.
