Allowing Euthanasia and Mercy Killing Is Wrong

Euthanasia and Mercy Killing of Disabled Babies

UK Obstetricians propose to actively practice euthanasia and allow mercy killing of severely disabled newborn babies. This proposal, according to Independent, has been put forward by The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecology, as an option of permitting mercy killings of the sickest infants to a review of medical ethics.

While unbelievable, the College justifies the mercy killings of severely disabled babies in the following way: that "active euthanasia" should be considered for the overall benefit of families who would otherwise suffer years of emotional and financial suffering.

According the report, the College has submitted its proposal to Nuffield Council on Bioethics and argues in the submission that "A very disabled child can mean a disabled family. If life-shortening and deliberate interventions to kill infants were available, they might have an impact on obstetric decision-making,"

Our publication strongly condemns such a proposal and calls on governments and societies to not allow such and evil proposal.

"Euthanasia is not a future problem. It is a present problem. It is happening now and becoming increasingly accepted. And we are asleep, not realizing that the road we are on will lead to the massive elimination of the elderly and "incompetent," and anyone else considered to be a burden to society," writes Fr. Frank A. Pavone National Director of Priests for Life.

In his article "Mercy Killing Is Murder" Rev. Ignatius -W. Cox, S. J, Ph.D. writes "The way in which the same moral question will thrust itself periodically on public attention is a curious phenomenon. It becomes a dangerous phenomenon, indicating a widespread moral malady, when with each periodic recurrence, more and more individuals of great potential influence take the wrong side, the ethically unscientific view, the immoral solution."

Our fear is that this question of severely disabled baby Euthanasia is being presented in nice "valuable" terms: benefit of families, financial and emotional suffering, impact on obstetric decision-making, a chance for women to decide...

Who are we do decide? Is this not crime to decide to kill the innocent babies? Since when did we start to play God? Do parents have the right to kill their babies? If no, how can governments or doctors decide so? It would be taking an advantage of an innocent severely disabled newborn child, who is ill, thrusts to those who bring him to life just about to kill and who can't speak or say a word, otherwise that child would have cried out... Let me live! I don't want to die. Don't kill me!

Is this article becoming too emotional? We want the reader see the reality of what may happen because we don't experience it.

Many doctors oppose to Euthanasia and mercy killing. Independent quotes John Wyatt, consultant neonatologist at University College Hospital, as saying: "Intentional killing is not part of medical care... once you introduce the possibility of intentional killing you change the fundamental nature of medicine. It becomes a subjective decision of whose life is worthwhile."

Strongly opposing to the proposal of Euthanasia and Mercy Killing of severely disabled and sick babies, we conclude by asking, if the societies take this road how far will they go, who is next: the severely ill adults, the weak elderly? What if one day there not enough food and resources to support the world population? What do we do in this age of relativism, liberalism and lack of principles: do we start actively practice Euthanasia toward those who are not productive or efficient...?

残疾婴儿的安乐死和无痛苦致死术

英国产科医师提议积极实行安乐死和对严重残疾新生儿的无痛苦致死术。独立报报道，这项提议由皇家妇产科学院根据一个医学伦理学的回顾提出，允许对极度残疾的婴儿实行无痛苦致死术作为一种选择。

然而，让人难以置信的是，该学院以如下的方式解释了对极度残疾婴儿实行无痛苦致死术的合理性，那就是“积极安乐死”应该为了家庭的整体利益给予考虑，当如果不实行（手术这个家庭）将遭受数年的精神和经济上的折磨的时候。

报道说，该学院已提交了给Nuffiedl生物伦理学委员会的提议，并在提议中说“一个残疾的孩子意味着一个残疾的家庭。如果能够人为缩短或终止婴儿的生命，将会对生育决策产生冲击。”

我们的报道强烈谴责这一提议，并号召政府和社会不要允许这样邪恶的提议。

安乐死不是未来的问题。它是一个现在的问题。它现在正在发生，并越来越被人接受。我们正在熟睡，没有意识到我们现在正在一条通向老人、“无能力者”和任何被认为是社会负担的人将大规模消失的道路上。全国终生牧师主任Fr. Frank A. Pavone写到。

在文章“安乐死是谋杀”中，Rev. Ignatius -W. Cox, S. J博士写到，“同样的道德问题周期性吸引公众的注意力是一个奇怪的现象。每次周期性的复发，越来越多的人受其潜在的影响选择了错误的立场，伦理学上不科学的观点，不道理的方法，它正变成一种危险的现象，意味着普遍的道理伦丧。”

我们所恐惧的是这个严重残疾儿童安乐死的问题正打着美丽的“价值”的旗号，家庭的利益，经济和情感的折磨，生育决策的影响，妇女决定的机会...

我们在决定着谁？决定去杀一个无辜的孩子不是犯罪吗？我们从什么时候开始扮演上帝了？父母有权力去杀害他们的孩子吗？如果答案是否定的，政府或医生如何决定呢？对于无辜的有着严重残疾的初生孩子，他身患疾病，受制于那些给予他生命却只是为了杀死他的人，却不能说一句话，我们应该站在他的立场上。否则，这个孩子将会哭喊到，让我活下去！我不想死。不要杀死我！

这篇文章正变得太感性了？因为我们不希望经历这些，我们想让读者明白现实中可能会发生什么。

许多医生反对安乐死和无痛苦致死术。独立报引用John Wyatt的话说：“故意处死不是医疗保健的一部分...一旦你把故意处死的可能性（带入医疗领域），你就改变了医学的本质。判断谁的生命是有价值的变成了一个主观决定。”

我们强烈反对对严重残疾和重病的儿童实行安乐死和无痛苦致死术的提议，最后我们想问，如果社会沿着这条路走下去，下一个轮到谁：重病的成年人，虚弱的老年人？如果有一天没有足够的食物和资源来维持世界上的人口，将会发生什么？在这个充满相对主义、自由主义、缺少原则的时代，我们会做些什么？我们会开始对那些不够多产或效率不够高的人积极实行安乐死吗？

UK experts call for debate on euthanasia for seriously disabled newborns

Child Health News
Published: Monday, 6-Nov-2006

The prestigious Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecology in Britain has suggested that there needs to be open debate about the extent that doctors should go to when it comes to ensuring the survival of seriously disabled babies.
The College in a report is asking doctors to consider euthanizing disabled and sick newborns and says the suggestion has arisen as a result of the rising number of newborns who are able to survive because of medical advances.

The college says the birth of such children often devastates families who suffer both emotional and financial hardships.

The College says the severely disabled babies who until recently would not have survived, are now able to do so because of medical advances and euthanasia should be considered in some cases.

Support for the proposal has apparently come from both parents of severely disabled babies, medical ethicists and geneticists but concern has been expressed by others that the suggestion smacks of social engineering.

The report says that if obstetricians were allowed to carry out active euthanasia, some patients would be more inclined to wait till birth, rather than carrying out late abortions.

In the report submitted to the Nuffield Council on Bioethics, the College is calling for a working party to consider non-resuscitation and the withdrawal of treatment to be an option in some cases along with active euthanasia.

The euthanasia of newborns, regardless of how sick and disabled they are, is illegal in the United Kingdom and the college confirms it is at this stage merely asking for a debate on the matter.

However it is known that doctors in the UK do privately admit that mercy killings of newborns does take place.

The euthanasia of newborns is allowed in the Netherlands for a range of incurable conditions cases such as severe spina bifida and the skin condition epidermolysis bullosa.

The suggestion is part of an answer to ethical questions concerning prolonging life in newborn babies.
