We Need To Talk About Euthanizing Disabled Babies

The Quebec College of Physicians (CMQ) has just recommended a most grotesque “cure” for babies suffering with various disabilities.
Speaking on behalf of the CMQ, Dr. Louis Roy proposed “that euthanasia be introduced for babies with ‘severe deformations’ and ‘very grave… medical syndromes.’”*
This recommendation is reprehensible, but unsurprising. Decades of progressivism, secularism, and post–modernism have inebriated our society with a dark and delirious state of mind, ready to execute little baby boys and girls in the name of compassion and care.
And shockingly, that is what the CMQ called this proposed policy. In a haunting defence of their evil, they said that “under these circumstances, the deliberate ending of a child’s life constitutes ‘care.’”**
But apart from the fact that our babies are actively being hunted by Molochs dressed up as doctors, it is the phrase “under these circumstances” that concerns me most.
The entire argument for euthanizing disabled babies is predicated on the notion that a human being’s value is derivative of his physical or mental condition. It is as if a man in the wheelchair were somehow less valuable than the man who can walk, or the man with an inhaler is less–worthy of life than his neighbour who can run a marathon. These are the sorts circumstances that determine whether a human is to be treated as a human or not.
But what if those circumstances were applied to you? What if they were applied to me? What are we to make of the idea that everyone who suffers ought to terminate his life rather than live it to the fullest? It’s a problematic policy for various reasons, mostly because everyone suffers, at least at some point in their lives, to a serious degree.
And who is to determine when one has sufficiently suffered to warrant suicide? Our response might be that it’s up to the individual to make that choice, because only the individual knows how badly his body, soul, or mind, hurts. But according to the CMQ, that is the wrong answer.
Instead, as evidenced by the euthanasia of babies, the CMQ and other “experts” are preparing to make the decision to euthanize for you. The babies do not choose to die, so why should you? Because you are older and can therefore choose? But what if your mental capacity to choose, like a baby, is reduced or non–existent? Or what if the experts determine that your mental capacities, because you are a Christian, social conservative, or a combination of both, are destroyed?
Not only are we preparing to toss out disabled babied in the trash, we are preparing to do the same with toddlers, children, pre–teens, teenagers, young adults, and old adults alike, whether they want death or not. The experts are preparing to walk into your hospital room during the evening rounds with a calculating indifference and say, “We have determined by various scientific tests that you are terminally ill, socially inept, and functionally invalid. We have therefore decided to terminate your life, goodnight.”
