I don't think anyone has a right to judge that a healthy life is more valid than a disabled or impaired life. <BR/> I also believe that just as everyone has the right to live, they also should have the right to die. Any consenting adult should be allowed to choose to die when their condition takes a turn for the worse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-802455185136479152.post-79657484374177723182008-08-05T17:12:00.000+05:302008-08-05T17:12:00.000+05:30I have been deliberating on this issue since I rea...I have been deliberating on this issue since I read it in the newspaper. As you mentioned, the question as to "when" the fetus is injected with life is the all-important one. If I am not mistaken, after twenty weeks (close to four months), a mother is legally barred from terminating her pregnancy unless it can be proven medically that delivering a baby can put her own health at risk. I would like to think that this time-line of twenty weeks was set in accordance to the earlier question of when the life commences in a fetus. If that is so, I find it quite logical.<BR/><BR/>To the debate on whether a disabled fetus should be killed or not, I see that as no different from killing an infant born with health issues, because in both scenarios, you are taking away a human life. I am inclined to say no to that, although the never-ending pain it may inflict on the child does make you question your call.<BR/><BR/>Mercy killing differs from this in a substantial way. It is usually about ending the life of an ailing adult whose consent (or that of his well-defined caretakers) has been obtained for the same. It's like a suicide except for the fact the subject is incapable of committing it, and hence seeking your help.<BR/><BR/>Nice post, by the bye.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-802455185136479152.post-78388517478980154432008-08-05T16:45:00.000+05:302008-08-05T16:45:00.000+05:30This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-802455185136479152.post-8060703354147432008-08-05T11:20:00.000+05:302008-08-05T11:20:00.000+05:30The Hindu gives some news insights here:http://www...The Hindu gives some news insights here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.hindu.com/2008/08/05/stories/2008080559681100.htmBaluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12847575038443855203noreply@blogger.com
