The British are mad. Living alone on an island for so long has driven them to create human-bovine embryos as well as recommending euthanasia for disabled newborns. Surely, the sun has set on the glory that was once Great Britain. Discuss.

Is recommending the same as legalizing or do you like sensationalizing things?

A better source.

Depends on the conditions for euthanasia, I guess. What if we only allow the baby to suffer until an inevitable death?

Apparently, in the Netherlands there are already cases where this is acceptable. Quote:

in the Netherlands mercy killing is permitted for a range of incurable conditions, including severe spina bifida and the painful skin condition called epidermolysis bullosa.

Clearly its a slippery slope, but yes, I like sensationalizing things.

Yes, they're mad. Are they from California?

Ok, I admit that it is disputable.

For me, it is a better source because the Indian Catholic article makes it sound that it is only about the uncomfort that it brings to parents in the 'financial, social and emotional' spheres.

The Times focus also on the question regarding the health of the baby and the pain it endures. It has also more quotes from both supporters and critics.

I was only asking because (broadly speaking) Turtle Islanders and Europeans seem to expect different things from their news (shock vs. objectivity). Some are not aware of this.

It's the Native American name for the continent of North America.

There's certainly nothing as objective as a Page 3 girl! Hubba! Hubba! Eh, Bosse?

For a moment there, I thought you were talking about Tortuga. 🙂

I still don't agree.
