‘Killing Newborn Babies Should Be Allowed’… Argue Ethicists

A paper published in the Journal of Medical Ethics argues that abortion
should be extended to make the killing of newborn babies permissible,
even if the baby is perfectly healthy, in a shocking example of how the
medical establishment is still dominated by a eugenicist mindset. ~ Paul Joseph Watson

The paper is
authored by Alberto Giubilini of Monash University in Melbourne and
Francesca Minerva at the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics
at the University of Melbourne.

The authors argue that “both
fetuses and newborns do not have the same moral status as actual
persons,” and that because abortion is allowed even when there is no
problem with the fetus’ health, “killing a newborn should be permissible
in all the cases where abortion is, including cases where the newborn
is not disabled.”

“The fact that both are
potential persons is morally irrelevant,” the authors claim, arguing
that adoption is not a reasonable counter-argument because the parents
of the baby might be economically or psychologically burdened the
process and the mother may “suffer psychological distress”. How the
mother could not also “suffer psychological distress” by having her
newborn baby killed is not explained.

“Merely being human is not
in itself a reason for ascribing someone a right to life. Indeed, many
humans are not considered subjects of a right to life: spare embryos
where research on embryo stem cells is permitted, fetuses where abortion
is permitted, criminals where capital punishment is legal,” the authors write.

The practice of infanticide has its
origins in barbaric eras of ancient history, but it is still common is
many areas of the world today, including China where the one child
policy allied with the social pressure to have boys has resulted in a
massive imbalance in the population.

Studies have found that 40 million
girls are ‘missing’ in China as a result of gender-selective abortion
and infanticide. In India, there are 50 million less females for the
same reasons.

In Pakistan, over 1000 babies a year are the victims of infanticide, which is rarely punished.

Matthew Archbold of the National Catholic Register
explains how the legalization of infanticide, killing newborn babies,
is the logical conclusion of the starting point of the argument, which
is that the fetus is not human and has no right to live.

“The second we allow
ourselves to become the arbiters of who is human and who isn’t, this is
the calamitous yet inevitable end. Once you say all human life is not
sacred, the rest is just drawing random lines in the sand,” he writes.

Respected bioethicist Wesley J. Smith
notes that the debate surrounding “the right to dehydrate the
persistently unconscious,” which eventually led to events like the Terri
Schiavo case, started with articles in bioethics and medical journals.

“Or to put it another way, too often bioethics, isn’t.
On the other hand, to be fair, the ancient Romans exposed inconvenient
infants on hills. These authors may want to take us back to those crass
values, but I assume they would urge a quicker death,” he writes.
