Shouldn't We Just Throw Them Off the Dover Cliffs?

Topics: Euthanasia advocacy

The title is very appropriate, for that is essentially what we are hearing from one of Britain's royal medical colleges in calling on the health profession to consider permitting the euthanasia of seriously disabled newborn babies.

The proposal by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecology is a reaction to the number of such children surviving because of medical advances. [...] The college's submission was also welcomed by John Harris, a member of the government's Human Genetics Commission and professor of bioethics at Manchester University. "We can terminate for serious foetal abnormality up to term but cannot kill a newborn. What do people think has happened in the passage down the birth canal to make it okay to kill the foetus at one end of the birth canal but not at the other?" he said.

The title of this post came from The Brussels Journal.
