I have been warning that infanticide is being normalized among the intelligentsia and in medicine. This story from Australia is more evidence that this is true. Apparently one-third of Aussie doctors would kill babies born with severe disabilities. And here’s an interesting twist that demonstrates that would be disabled baby killers do not come at this from an objective view: “The survey found that doctors who fear a slow and painful death are more likely to hasten the death of sick infants in their care.”

In light of recent stories, such as the Swiss court permitting assisted suicide of the mentally ill, can anyone seriously believe that assisted suicide is really about “choice” when nothing else can be done to alleviate the suffering of competent, dying patients?
