I was in no way trying to vilify the Groningen Protocol. I was simply bringing it up as an example of state-sanctioned infanticide (euthanasia implies that the person has a choice in the matter).
However, I don't believe this article is satirical in nature. They are using philosophies that already occur in the literature and expanding it to include all reasons that make a person eligible for an abortion. Now, even though it's not satirical whether the author's actually believe what they wrote is a different matter. This may have simply been a means to raise such questions within the bioethical community as they had not previously been asked.

Abortion is legal, some people just need to get over it. The day i see a rich white "pro-lifers" adopting all the crack babies and children with severe disabilities i will change sides on abortion. Until then the abortion crowd is free to abort and the anti-abortion crowd can go to china to adopt when they can't get a white baby in the states.

Let's actually do this, every person who thinks abortion is ok should be euthanised right on the spot. You know, it is the best thing for the world, it is overpopulated as it... If you don't like this, well you can go to Japan to the suicide forest and choose your way to get out of this life you hate so much...

I would definitely consider such a thing if my child was severely disabled and/or in extreme pain. I feel like death is much more humane then a lifetime of misery.
Or a lifetime being abandoned and mistreated, somehow death just seems easier, painless...

Did any of you not read the fact that these scientists say even if the child is NOT disabled?... This is not giving a choice to parents to murder their child if it is disabled, but FOR ANY REASON the parents want to MURDER their born child should be legalised according to these scientists...
The whole bunch of you who have become desensitized to the value of human life, even of a human fetus and a newborn child are the reason why the world is so messed up...
You are like the warlords of Africa who murder children and people "just because they want to"... That's what you people have become, and this has nothing to do with religion... it has to do with the value of innocent human lives...

I think ANY person that does not want to live anymore should be able to get euthanized if they choose. I do not advocate killing people because of their beliefs, that is religion's job.
I think any person who goes to great lengths to hide their profile in a deceptive manner(so the fact that the account is only suspiciously a few day's old) should be entitled to an account euthanization.

You would like me banned from ATS for how my profile appears to you. Yup, sounds like the typical anti-abortionist. You do sound very "pro" like and "pro" equality..

Why is it always the "pro" life crowd that starts advocating murder over this issue? When is the last time you heard of people that support abortions wanting to kill people who adopt?
