#1 Infanticide pure and simple. This goes along with the recent practice in the Netherlands that lets a 'committee' (always the same people, you'll note) decide whether a child with severe medical problems should live or die.

Margaret Sanger is alive and well in Europe.

I don't think this will happen in the U.S. If it does I'm going to be out there throwing myself in front of the speeding train.

#2 It's the natural course of ~~National~~ socialism to allow such things. Medical funds should only be spent on the ~~aryan,~~ strong and healthy don't you must undrstand?

#3 Hell no, as per both the Nazis + Commies the killing of seemingly disabled babies has never changed anything as a matter of nation-specific ideo health or popul stats. Other than making mothers or parents' upset, and paying big Govt $$$ to scientists or specialists, the only pragmatic consequence of GOVT SELECTIVE INFANTICIDE has been to save a few minor dollars vv already deficit-heavy national [Socialist/
Commie]budgets.

#6 What's next....forcing a woman who is knowingly carrying a disabled infant to term to have an abortion? Killing the child against his or her parents' wishes, because after all, the doctors know better?

#7 Yes, that would be the NEXT logical step, SB.

#8 They'll just be doing explicitly what they've done through inaction in the past. Consider differences in how the US and the UK treat babies with spina bifida, for example. In the UK, they'd discourage parents from getting aggressive treatment for their babies; in the US they do everything they can to improve the baby's life. Yes, the US way is more expensive, but where would you rather be?

The Dutch may pay for ‘escorts’ for their disabled, but they also promote euthanasia. The cognitive dissonace is amazing.

#9 Some friends of mine in Denver have a daughter with spina biffida. They were told she probably wouldn't live to be ten. She graduated from college a couple of years ago, and is attending DU law school.
