<title>&quot;Mercy Killing&quot; of Severely Disabled Newborns Debated in Britain (Trees And Things)</title>
<link>http://www.treesandthings.com/story/2006/11/5/92040/4172</link>
<description>According to Britain's Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecology, "a very disabled child can mean a disabled family." &#160;That's why the College has invited a debate into the &lt;a href="http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20704878-1702,00.html">mercy killing of newborn disabled babies.&lt;/a></description>

<description>My grandmother died a very long death. Her body was healthy. It was her brain that took a powder, and made an early exit. Although it wasn't Alzheimer's, the dementia took the "her" out of her. Her slow exit was made at "the old-folks home", not with famil</description>

<description>In these particular cases, I know because I knew the individuals involved at the time. &#160;I have heard that some hospices do permit overmedication, but from what &lt;a href="http://www.annals.org/cgi/content/summary/133/7/527">I gather&lt;/a> most do not.&lt;p>&#10;</description>

<description>My point is that, with the pre-natal technology we have and that we will have in the future, there really isn't any reason for a woman to have to carry a fetus to term which will be born with severe birth defects like anacephaly. &#160;Obviously, I don't k</description>

<description>What does &quot;intentional killing&quot; mean in medical parlance anyway? &#160;Apparently, it's considered acceptable to withdraw food &amp; water, and let the person starve to death slowly, but it's not OK to add enough morphine into their IV-drip to le</description>

<description>It sounded closer to a framework that would allow the doctors to have this conversation with the patient's family. &#160;&lt;p>&#10;Thalia</description>

<description>&lt;i>Doctors will not even discuss the possibility of letting someone whose life expectancy is 3 months of pain and suffering or even less die. &#160;"We have to do everything medically possible," or "we cannot assist in ending a life" is the refrain&lt;/i>&lt;p>&#10;</description>

<description>&lt;i>&lt;br>&#10;Letting doctors talk about the possibility that sometimes, it is best for the person and their family to end suffering seems to be the goal here. &#160;And I think that is a very worthwhile goal.&lt;/i>&lt;p>&#10;I am not a doctor Thalia, but I'm skeptical t</description>

<description>&lt;i>it's never to late in the game (or too early) to take a human life as long as those around it feel that it's an inconvenience.&lt;/i>&lt;p>&#10;I better look over my shoulder. &#160;I feel pretty expendable. &#160;</description>

<description>I don't think anyone is arguing that the decision should be made by the patient and/or family. &#160;But right now, that is absolutely not the case. &#160;Doctors will not even discuss the possibility of letting someone whose life expectancy is 3 months of</description>

<description>&#160;I am in a general a supporter of euthanasia - but at the discretion of the person involved or the person's family.&lt;p>&#10;Life is a fatal condition. There is no known cure, so its a matter of degrees when deciding when life is not worth living. Such nuan</description>

<description>&lt;i>The newspaper reported that the college was not formally calling for active euthanasia to be introduced, but wanted the mercy killing of newborn babies to be debated by society.&lt;/i>&lt;p>&#10;I think that's perfectly reasonable, and far from crossing a bright </description>
