Those Enlightened Europeans

My understanding of the article, though, was that it was talking about babies born with terminal illnesses -- i.e., those with a few minutes, hours, maybe days to live. Going from killing a baby who will die after a few (excrutiangly painful) hours (or just not treating that baby and letting him or her suffer and die) to "selective breeding" or "kill everyone with a birth defect" is an enormous leap. And one that neither Europe nor America has made despite apparently engaging in the former practice for many years now.
If an elderly person wanted to be euthanized rather than live through a few months of terminal bone cancer, I wouldn't stop him.

Sure. And you thought they were going to stop with putting flouride in the water. Now look what they've done.
