The article, published in the Journal of Medical Ethics, says newborn babies are not actual persons and do not have a moral right to life. The academics also argue that parents should be able to have their baby killed if it turns out to be disabled when it is born.
They also argued that parents should be able to have the baby killed if it turned out to be disabled without their knowing before birth, for example citing that only the 64 per cent of Downs syndrome cases in Europe are diagnosed by prenatal testing.
Once such children were born there was no choice for the parents but to keep the child, they wrote.
To bring up such children might be an unbearable burden on the family and on society as a whole, when the state economically provides for their care.

Second, we do not claim that after-birth abortions are good alternatives to abortion. Abortions at an early stage are the best option, for both psychological and physical reasons. However, if a disease has not been detected during the pregnancy, if something went wrong during the delivery, or if economical, social or psychological circumstances change such that taking care of the offspring becomes an unbearable burden on someone, then people should be given the chance of not being forced to do something they cannot afford.
That IS cruel Immanuel; I hope this post appear as I intend.Was there another one? Sorry,

You deserve to be forced to listen to George Bush speeches for 24 hours followed up by 24 hours of Barack Obama speeches... non stop and should you doze off, the entire process will be started over when you wake up.

I also read only what was available online. The researchers were not actually ADVOCATING, but it remains disturbing.i have read it, and the money shot is this:

i had hope that those "philosophers" were just playing devil's advocate, but they seem to seriously try to make a case for "post birth abortion".
