Killing for a Perfect Society
Topics: Life IssuesThe number of people with disabilities in North Korea is low, according to Ri Kwang-chol, a defector who fled to the South last year. Here's the ghastly reason:
North Korea has no people with physical disabilities because they are killed almost as soon as they are born, a physician who defected from the communist state said on Wednesday.You may be thinking, "It won't happen here." Well, in our more civilized nation eighty percent of couples who find out during pregnancy that their child has Down Syndrome choose to have an abortion.Ri Kwang-chol, who fled to the South last year, told a forum of rights activists that the practice of killing newborns was widespread but denied he himself took part in it.
"There are no people with physical defects in North Korea," Ri told members of the New Right Union, which groups local activists and North Korean refugees.
He said babies born with physical disabilities were killed in infancy in hospitals or in homes and were quickly buried.
