"women who wished that their children had been aborted"

Did I say that the pregnancy came to term?


If it didn't come to term, then why talk about it in this context? I thought you were talking about saving women whose life was doomed in some way by not being able to abort.



but not that you equated "sanctity" with "value".


Ah, its a distate for any word that sounds faintly religious?

As a tenet of courteous conduct, might I recommend you frame your questions as questions, without provocations such as declarative structure or taking the name of the dark&mighty GOSH in vain.

Okay, I'll put a question mark at the end.


"There is a danger in taking life for humanitarian reasons."

Doesn't apply in this instance. Nobody is threatening to take the lives of the persons in my example except the owner/operators. Do you agree or disagree that if the two criteria I mentioned are observed, it's admissible?


That whats admissable? I recall forced sterilizations for eugenic reasons were once done in this country. I know that medical euthanasia began in the Netherlands within the last generation and was justified as a merciful voluntary thing. Now most medical euthanasia acts there are initiated by doctors with no authorization.
