British Doctors: Kill sickest newborns
An article in the The Australian relates how Britain’s Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecology is reportedly calling on doctors to consider euthanasing “the sickest of newborns” which it says can disable healthy families.
The Sunday Times newspaper said today the proposal was in reaction to the number of such children who were surviving because of medical advances.
The college argued “active euthanasia” should be considered for the good of families, to spare parents the emotional burden and financial hardship of bringing up the sickest babies.
The proposal is contained in the college’s submission to an inquiry into ethical issues raised by the policy of prolonging life in newborn babies.
Euthanasia of newborns is illegal in Britain.
“A very disabled child can mean a disabled family,” the submission says.
“If life-shortening and deliberate interventions to kill infants were available, they might have an impact on obstetric decision-making, even preventing some late abortions, as some parents would be more confident about continuing a pregnancy and taking a risk on outcome.
“We would like the working party to think more radically about non-resuscitation, withdrawal of treatment decisions, the best interests test and active euthanasia as they are ways of widening the management options available to the sickest of newborns.”
This is where a multi-cultural diverse secular society goes. If God is not in the equation, then life isn’t sacred and you can do whatever you want.
We must prevent the ACLU and other secular-humanists from converting American society into a secular society, and we must end multi-culturism in this country. Immigrants must be assimilated into American society and hold American values. It is the belief in Judeo-Christian values, including the sanctity of life, that makes America a moral and great country.

Holy Cow, Britain is going the way of North Korea and China.
Euthenasia for infants/children is illegal there now so there would have to be a change in law. Hopefully with the posting of articles like this people will think twice and refuse to let it happen.

There is a great difference between refusing to preserve the lives of the sickest infants and actually killing them.

Britain is having a meltdown with all the Muslim no veil, yes veil controversy. It doesn’t know what to do. It’s all confused. Soon many Britain’s will give up and will abandon ship.

“This is where a multi-cultural diverse secular society goes. If God is not in the equation, then life isn’t sacred and you can do whatever you want.”
-Actually, I feel that those who don’t believe in a god actually feel life is MORE sacred than those who do. Most of the killing in the world is the result of religious beliefs.
It is the belief in Judeo-Christian values, including the sanctity of life, that makes America a moral and great country.
-Religion does not make people moral, it is the strength of the person that makes them moral. Do I need to mention Ted Haggard?
