Belgium Falling Off Infanticide Cliff Faster Than Did The Dutch
The Dutch began euthanasia in 1973. It wasn't until circa 1990 that the killing agenda got around regularly to dispatching disabled and terminally ill infants. And it is only this year that there is a concerted effort to formally legalize eugenic infanticide in the Netherlands.
What took the Dutch more than 30 years, is happening in less than 5 in Belgium, which, a pending study in The Lancet shows, appears ready to move at the double quick toward the killing of seriously ill and disabled infants.
Such is the inescapable logic of euthanasia. Once killing is transformed from "bad" to "good" as a remedy for suffering, it doesn't take long before those who can't exercise the killing "choice" have it made for them.

Wesley,
It just keeps getting more bizarre. No, strike that. It is becoming more evil.
The April 2, 2005 article in the British Medical Journal entitled, “Dutch Supreme Court backs damages for child for having been born.” The first paragraph of the article written by Tony Seldon reads, “The Dutch Supreme Court has agreed to the award of damages to a severely disabled child for the fact that she was born-a so called wrongful life. This is the first such case in the Netherlands...”
That kind of thing is litigation gone mad. It is crazy and it is wrong.
I cannot understand how anyone could dare litigate in that fashion. In fact I feel that litigation is just another area that needs reform. Within the field of medicine there is too much in the way of frivilous litigation.
A good example is the malpractice suit that was brought by Michael Schiavo. It was fraudulent and it led to a greater evil.
