Deliberately
causing the death of an infant,
usually a newborn with a handicap;
either directly or indirectly
by refusing to give baby food,
water and necessary medical
care.
“Infanticide is happening
in hospitals throughout the
country, even in prestigious
medical centers.” Dr.
C. Everett Koop.
Infanticide is illegal
in every state in this country
but most cases are never
brought to public attention
and no parent or physician
has been convicted.
No one has
the right to judge that
another person’s life
is not worth living.
Every human has basic right
to life.
Doctors are not obliged
to use “extraordinary”
or “heroic”
means to save every sick
infant, if recovery chance
is very poor and would only
prolong the dying process.
