Parents should be allowed to have their newborn babies killed because they are “morally irrelevant” and ending their lives is no different to abortion, a group of medical ethicists linked to Oxford University has argued.
The article, published in the Journal of Medical Ethics, says newborn babies are not “actual persons” and do not have a “moral right to life”. The academics also argue that parents should be able to have their baby killed if it turns out to be disabled when it is born.
The journal’s editor, Prof Julian Savulescu, director of the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics, said the article's authors had received death threats since publishing the article. He said those who made abusive and threatening posts about the study were “fanatics opposed to the very values of a liberal society”.
Forgot to add this is satanic even if satan is not real this is sick. All liberals kys
Grayson Brooks
i agree with the disabled part, cuz people shouldnt have to raise literal degenerates. but the other parts are stupid.
David Fisher
UK YES

It's hard to find compelling arguments for a pro-life position when its proponents use 'satanic' unironically

But it's completely logical. If you think killing "fetuses" is okay, then so is killing infants. What's the difference? And comatose people and elderly who can't provide for themselves are next on the chopping block. That's the type of morality abortion leads to.
Carson Roberts
They've come full circle
Asher Hill
infants cont live without care from their mother therefore they are not living humans.

Fact: countries should be allowed to have their non-white, homosexual and leftist population killed because they are “morally irrelevant” and ending their lives is no different to a very very very late term abortion

Leo Reed
People on welfare cant live without government therefore they are not living humans. Lets kill them first. See how that works u libfag

this. Although I'd rather care for a nice retard than a screaming leftist any day.

Only a bit longer until it's not only okay but morally right to genocide Conservatives.

Liberals are so desperate to keep their wealth and power. Just read the bible and about ancient civilizations who went through this sickness.
Pretty much a large mass of wealthy lazy individuals come to power, they want to maintain their power because they fear the lower classes will over take them, so they kill newborns (especially males) in attempt to cull the population.
It's all about control. And guess who advocates much of this shit? The boomer generation.
Once you fags realize not all but the majority boomers are mentally ill and don't care one bit about your future in this world, you have just taken a very large red pill that was obvious and in your face for a long time.

They wouldn't have to deal with retards if they didn't wait until they were 45 to have children.

Meanwhile, during a time of mass drownings that everybody has already heard of many times because it's pushed like hell, a picture of a dead refugee baby face down on a beach in a posed photograph causes leftists around the world to wank themselves off 'round the clock as though it provided any new insight into anything at all or gave us any new information about what was going on in the Mediterranean.
I mean FFS. That could not have been more of a manufactured and disingenuous outcry. Meanwhile, this is not degeneracy. I just wish people would be consistent DESU.

Hey suckdick! Do u reading comprehensive much?

I just thought of an argument against the "it has no brain function so it's ethical to kill it" line of reasoning. It's no doubt been thought of before, but anyway.
Ask them if they were told their mother was in a coma where she experienced next to no brain function for a few months, but after that she would be fine. Would they just kill her instead? They probably wouldn't. So why would you kill a unborn child that's a few months away from consciousness?
I'm trying to think of justifiable reasons to kill your kid and honestly the only reason that I keep coming back to is because it's convenient.
Hunter Kelly
>liberals always scream about how slippery slope is a fallacy >abortion being used to justify murdering more babies When's the cutoff for "moral irrelevance"? You could argue a person is "morally irrelevant" until their brain fully develops in the mid 20s.
Nicholas Myers
Employment skills etc.

>moralcucks getting triggered over this
imo post-birth abortion should be legal until about 4 years old when the child's intelligence is starting to surpass that of an animal.
Jaxon Powell
You seem very narrow minded and perturbed by this. Would I be right in assuming you have some kin that are Ministers?
Charles Jones
How about I post birth abort you, you fucking shit stain?
Joseph Collins
What about if the baby has down syndrome or autism?

You are not? And no im not religious at all.
Luis Morales
This is beyond fucked up.
The only situation in which I can agree with euthanizing a child is that if they have a some sort of disability that leaves them in constant severe pain and unable to ever function. Something like this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrodysplasia_ossificans_progressiva
Even autism and downs syndrome are possible to deal with.

The Female Uterus already does that, if not at a rate higher than even the lower 50%.

Oh gee yeah, can't see THAT precedent getting misused at all.
Leo Campbell
Before abortion was wildly accessible women would kill their newborns. A lot of prostitute's were guilty of this. This was when the only form of medical abortion was an infusion of peppermit and oil. I could see this happening again if abortion and pills become illegal. Women who do not want children don't care to murder them, a teen gave birth in the bathroom during her school dance and slit it's throat on the paper towel dispenser immediately after. Some women shouldn't have the right to get pregnant but it happens.
Isaiah Johnson
At first there was triggering, then >Should be killed if disabled when born

Oh look, its a non story about some faggots causing deliberate controversy to stave off the feelings of a wasted life that pursuing a fucking professorship in fucking ethics brings.

Leo Russell
>It's a medical "ethicists" with an elementary level understand of philosophy try to use "muh brain functions" as a justification for murder >Murder of fucking infants nonetheless Biologists and people in biology related fields need to stay the fuck out of philosophical debates, and this is coming from someone working on a P.A degree by the way. If we went off of the level of consciousness in a living organism to determine if it's okay to kill it then any time something falls asleep I could say it has ceased being self aware and killing it is perfectly fine. Also it's a stupid fucking argument even on a biological level because mammals are designed to give birth to greatly underdeveloped young since it provides an overall advantage to survival so there's nothing naturally wrong with babies anyways.
Lucas Jones
Yes, but they are advocating killing babies while abortion is legal.
Angel Kelly
>Savulescu Oops. Our bad. I guess the communist-time abortion ban really upset him.
