"...all the individuals who are not in the condition of attributing any value to their own existence are not persons. Merely being human is not in itself a reason for ascribing someone a right to life." from After-birth abortion: why should the baby live?
Abortion, euthanasia, and now after-birth abortion a.k.a. infanticide. And so it continues, the journey to have only perfect people in the world. Who is next? Where does it end? Why does this one article matter? An article leads to discussion. The discussion leads to people thinking the argument is reasonable. Thinking that it is reasonable leads to acceptance. Think not? Look at the road to the acceptance of abortion and, in many places, euthanasia. What will become the qualification that determines anyone of us is a non-person and ought not continue to live?
Infanticide is currently legal in the Netherlands, and practiced in many countries like China, India and North Korea.
"We are not some casual or meaningless product of evolution. Each of us is the result of a thought of God. Each of us is willed, each of us is loved, each of us is necessary." Pope Benedict XVI
