In one article in the prestigious Hastings Report in 2008, two Dutch bioethicists argued that in such cases, “the baby is judged to be better off dead than forced to endure the only kind of life it can ever have.”
Western society is forgetting what "Never Again" means.

There is little difference between what Nazi Germany did to these kids and what we Americans are doing to our pre-born children.
Even torture. I’m convinced that abortion has so desensitized us regarding our children that we barely flinch any more when we read of abuse, rape and other violent crimes against our children.
10,000+5,000 = 15,000 dead. That is horrible, but our modern abortion industry makes those nazis look small-time.
Does anyone really think we are a Christian nation under God’s protection?
Martin Luther’s “Holy” Germany thought so...look how that ended up.
I’m wondering where the next Dresden or Hiroshima will be in the United States.
Yep....remove God and you have no dignity and worth given to human beings. None. The 19th Century was the “God is Dead” crusade that has been marching through every institution in the world-—even in some so-called “Christian” churches.
If God is Dead—then there is no hope for mankind—there is no dignity and worth given to mankind.
America is lucky because we inserted God into our Founding Documents but the godless leftists are trying to even destroy that.....their backdoor method-—est. abortion and homosexual “marriage”. Both will make Christians bigots and “haters of choice and freedom” and the Bible “Hate Speech” and mold children into a worldview where there are no moral absolutes.
Ping.
And our twisted, evil government will continue to protect the real hate speech and acts of LaRaza and the New Black Panthers...this will not end well.
Germany was the heart of the “God is Dead” movement of the Postmodernists in the 19th century. Postmodernist thinking was the dominant ideology by the time of the sick and vulgar Wiemar Republic. All their media promoted paganism/satanism/hedonism. Christianity was mocked and its influence was destroyed and is why they elected Hitler.
There was a remnant of true Christians in German society—like Bonhoeffer—but they were no longer in control of the media and schools and government. Mass indoctrination was controlled by the homosexual SA Brownshirts and people with similar godless worldview.
I do more than flinch, most stories involving children in the news will bring me to tears. I have three of my own, and the thought that someone could want to harm them, or any other child for any reason is beyond my comprehension.
"Nazi propaganda for their compulsory 'euthanasia' program: 'This person suffering from hereditary defects costs the community 60,000 Reichsmark during his lifetime. Fellow German, that is your money, too.'"
How many degrees of separation between this and Obama’s policies?
I read the new Bonhoeffer bio last year.
Many good people I have spoken to say America is nothing like the Weimar Republic, and our culture is far superior to Germans then...I attribute that to bad cases of normalcy bias and cognitive dissonance.
Seems humans never learn anything.
We have to change and bring God back into public and private life. Have to.
Show Trials
One of the most effective Nazi legal maneuvers against Catholic priests (and some Protestant clergy) was the use of show trials that highlighted supposed criminal immorality. Throughout 1935 and 1936, hundreds of priests, monks, lay-brothers and women religious were arrested, accused of sexual perversions, pedophilia, and homosexuality, and then put on public trial.
Typical of Gestapo techniques was to lure a priest to a hotel room or apartment on the pretense of someone needing the last rites. Once there, the priest was set upon by a prostitute while Gestapo officials took photos of the bewildered victim. The photos were then used at the trial as supposedly damning evidence.
Other priests were accused falsely of molesting children, and German newspapers were filled with lurid and pornographic accounts and cartoons of priests and other clergy. Many priests "confessed" after torture or threats against their parents and relatives. These events were protested in the United States and by local bishops, but the protests did nothing to halt the cruel mockery of priests in films, plays, speeches, and songs.
The above account of nazi persecution sounds like the Kansas City Star's attack on Bishop Robert Finn...
