The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecology is arguing that "active euthanasia" should be considered for the overall good of families, and to spare parents the emotional burden and financial hardship of bringing up the hardest-hit babies. "A very disabled child can mean a disabled family," the doctors say. Obviously some doctors disagree.

'The Brussels Journal' (widely read journal which apparently has a motto “I believe in being free, acquiring knowledge, and telling the truth.”) says "Shouldn’t We Just Throw Them Off the Dover Cliffs?"

Added to all this there is now, according to the Times and the BBC, a plan for a Human-cow hybrid, ie a creature part human and part cow !

IMO: I feel sorry for the cows, anyway. But lets throw Tony B. Liar and George Bush off the Dover cliffs first, just to start the ball rolling. At least two evils will then have left the earth. These matters need serious public debate which should not either delay real medical progress nor descend to populism or indeed pseudo religious (such as mock-'christian') or abominably 'humanist' views. How is this all to be achieved ? I for one do not know, but in the light of past history, as evinced by the total lack of real practical attention to global warming, I doubt if it will.
