Groningen Protocol Update

Now the Brits are killing babies against the wishes of the parents.

From Fox News:
Rejecting a bid by the parents, a British judge on Thursday upheld a court order allowing doctors to let a critically ill baby die if she stops breathing — a move doctors say is the only humane way to end the child's suffering.

Eighteen-month-old Charlotte Wyatt (search) can hardly see or hear and weighed about a pound when she was born prematurely. Her brain and other organs are so seriously damaged that she has "no feeling other than continuing pain," according to physicians.

Darren and Debbie Wyatt, who believe in preserving life at any cost, sought to overturn a court order granted in October.
I'd say we've slipped pretty far down the slope if you ask me...now we're killing babies that the parents want to let live!
