"Baby is judged to be better off dead than forced to endure the only kind of life it can ever have," say authors

By John Jalsevac

GARRISON, NY, February 22, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In 2005 the world was horrified when it was revealed that in the Netherlands doctors were not only openly admitting that they had killed disabled newborn infants, but that the medical institution was actively promoting child euthanasia through the so-called Groningen Protocol. The protocol - the full name of which is The Groningen Protocol for Euthanasia in Newborns - lays out a set of guidelines that must be followed in making and executing the decision to kill a newborn infant.

The revelation that newborn euthanasia was both common and acceptable in the Netherlands was greeted with harsh criticisms from around the world, with one Italian Minister going to far as to accuse the Netherlands of Nazism. Others expressed their disgust that many of the children who were being euthanized by Dutch doctors were children with Spina Bifida, a condition with which many people have lived well into adulthood and had fulfilling lives.

 A lengthy report that appears in the most recent issue of The Hastings Center Report - called by conservative bioethicist Wesley Smith the "world's most prestigious" journal of bioethics - however, strongly defends The Groningen Protocol as humane and perfectly ethical. It especially defends the ethical nature of the protocol's provisions for killing newborns with conditions that would allow them to live for many years.

Infanticide has finally been revived by the neopagans, i knew it would only be a matter of time before the anti-Christian fanatics would bring back all the immoral activities and perversion that prevalent during the pre-Christian pagan era.

First homophilia, now infanticide, the two hallmarks of the pre-Christian pagan era.

All Christians should stop just playing defense, we cannot win the Culture War with just defense, we need to go on the offensive.

Hello Silvername,

WELCOME!


I sincerely hope that you enjoy Christians Unite.

This sickening article plainly indicates there are people who have no problem at all in playing GOD. They will answer to the REAL GOD one day.

I'll simply say that many so-called disabled people have made tremendous contributions to mankind in my lifetime. I'll also say that my own life has been enriched greatly by having so-called disabled friends. NOW, I'm disabled, and we will all be disabled in one way or another as we grow older. What if these idiot doctors decided that I would be better off dead? Let's keep in mind that 100% of people will be disabled sooner or later. AND - who's going to define "disabled"?

I like the explanation given by one of my close friends who said that he didn't like the term "disabled". He made the point that he was "Differently Abled" - NOT "disabled". There were many things he could do BETTER than other people. The ultimate reality is very simple:  every baby belongs to GOD - NOT the doctors and NOT the parents. These so-called doctors murdering babies will answer for their deeds one day.

Love In Christ,
Tom
