Catholic forum discussion on Peter Singer..

..which mentions Wheelie Catholic.

That's fine by me. I stand in support of life for those with disabilities . Babies, old people - the whole nine yards.

Regarding arguments made in favor of ending the lives of those who have disabilities, I see folks judging those of us with disabilities with these lines of thought -

...as having a lower quality of life, so it's kinder and more humane to end life
....as being a hardship to parents/others, so it's kinder and more humane to end life
....as not being worth considered human if the person doesn't meet certain criteria to justify their existence leading to...
..."is there a right to life if - x, y or z is 'wrong; with the person/baby..." -



It's an interesting discussion, all the more for the scientific response and rationalizations propounded in defense of killing disabled babies.
