Ping to NYer thread on the Church of England and the killing of kids. Thanks, tutstar...

The Church of England believes doctors should be given the right to withhold treatment from some seriously disabled newborn babies in exceptional circumstances, The Observer reported.

The view comes in a submission from the church to a British medical ethics committee looking at the implications of keeping severely premature babies alive through technological advances, the weekly newspaper said.

The Bishop of Southwark, Tom Butler, was said to have written that "it may in some circumstances be right to choose to withhold or withdraw treatment, knowing it will possibly, probably, or even certainly result in death".

I thought it had been renamed "The Coven of England."

Concerning this, Glenn Beck said that in the UK, doctors have started using the term “bed blockers” to refer to premature babies, because they take up space that would be better spent on healthy full-term babies. We'd say "useless eaters," I suppose, but it's still a shock to apply such terms to newborn babies.

And now we have the Anglican hierarchs saying it's OK to snuff babies who do not live up to somebody's specifications.

It won't be long before the old certainty, "There'll always be an England," is replaced by "Allahu Akbar."
