Ethicists call for killing of newborns to be made legal

Thank you to Fr Ed Tomlinson for picking up on this one (and also congratulation to he and Hayley for their newborn son Augustine. Number three - you have a long way to go yet!).


This is the next step in the development of British culture being a culture of death. Of course it follows logically on from permitting abortion up until birth in some cases. Where will the line be drawn next? If infanticide is permitted, what about two weeks old, or up until one year old...?


I just hope that this will actually reveal the deathly logic of abortion in general.


Here is the beginning of the Catholic Herald on this:

A leading British medical journal has published an article calling for the introduction of infanticide for social and medical reasons.
The article in the Journal of Medical Ethics, entitled “After-birth abortion: why should the baby live?” states in its abstract: “After-birth abortion (killing a newborn) should be permissible in all cases where abortion is, including cases where the newborn is not disabled.”
