HUMAN RIGHTS Outrageous: Bioethicist says parents may have ‘right’ to kill born children

[Haiku Guy]

Anyone you disagree with as long as they aren’t a progressive.

If they were the right kind of progressive, you wouldn't disagree with them.

[hal ogen]

This begs the question “does anyone have the right to kill the ethicist”?

[PTBAA]

Joona Räsänen studied at the Gosnell School of Bioethics.

Once you start down the road of justifying murder, as in abortion, their is no logical reason to limit it to abortion. Taking a life to make your life better/easier will naturally expand to elderly, babies, too sick to bother, too many people, too poor, wrong political/ religious affiliation. Just make it legal and call it compassionate.

***legal infanticide***

This was proposed in a French magazine about thirty five years ago.

Next they’ll be telling us that Chicago’s weekly death toll is just natures way of fulfilling this eugenics model.

[Dante3]

Those with “wrong” political leanings?

[Salman]

Some would say we’re going down a slippery slope, but I would say it’s a staircase with each step deliberately taken.

[Jan_Sobieski]

Christians would pick up the discarded Roman babies and raise them as Christians

[EdnaMode]

Yup

[marktwain]

Yes.

Christian and Jews respect for the lives of children resulted in very fast rises in the population of Christians and Jews in the Roman Empire.

Other Romans did not reproduce enough to maintain the population of Roman cities.

Sound familiar?

[Joe Brower]

"Merely being human is not in itself a reason for ascribing someone a right to life.”"

Someone should remind Joona Räsänen that, he also being human, this rule also applies to him. Just sayin'.

I had a teacher in high school who was in favor of retroactive abortions up to the age of 18. :>)

[BlueLancer]

I remember a passage in a book that I was reading (Glen Cook, The Garrett Files), where the lead character advocated putting all boys into wine barrels and feeding them through the bunghole of the barrel until they were 18 years old. At that point, he said, a decision needed to be made: let him out of the barrel or drive in the bung.

[metmom]

Anyone they don’t like.

[I want the USA back]

This should not be a surprise. In effect, parents who have their newborn babies killed are not prosecuted. It’s a goal of the left to write that into the law.
It already happens. Some people call it a “botched” abortion. The scissors didn’t work, so dump the baby in a trash barrel.
We’re already there. This person just wants to write it into law.
I’m hoping that someone applies this reasoning to Räsänen. he will have no reason to complain.

[kanawa]

fwiw

[Jan_Sobieski]

Do we have a right to kill bioethicists? Lol!

[Boogieman]

It’s not stupidity, it’s evil. Once you have decided to pursue some evil goal, your mind will automatically find ways to rationalize it to yourself to quiet your conscience.

Believing your own rationalizations is foolish, but not stupid. We all do it, to some degree or another, whether we realize it or not. It’s just how our minds work.

[GOPJ]

The same logic applies...
