Lexi,
yes, I watched that too. It was beyond belief. I wonder how the judiciary would have reacted if a parent or Doctor would have acted in one of those poor children's best interest in the most humane way & euthanised it at birth. My guess is that the judiciary would have come down so heavy on them in favour of the child without a thought of the miserable existence that lay ahead of the child.
Which side of humane would you be on ?

Hey guys, you are way off-topic, but for what it's worth a friend of mine was a thalidomide baby and I'm sure he would have been prospectively very distressed if his parents had euthanised him because of his handicap. So far he's made a bigger contribution to the world than many even if he has arms that are more like flippers than anything else.

But I'm not sure what this has to do with George's book.
