SHOCK: Univ of Chicago Prof Says It Should be Legal to Kill Newborns

The College Fix has a horrible story about a University of Chicago professor who believes it’s completely fine to kill babies.  Yes, really:

A biologist at one of the most prestigious universities in the country has come out in favor of killing disabled newborn babies, declaring that “it is time to add to the discussion the euthanasia of newborns.”

In a post on his personal blog, University of Chicago Prof. Jerry Coyne expressed approval over the idea of killing “newborns who have horrible conditions or deformities, or are doomed to a life that cannot by any reasonable light afford happiness.”

Citing a recent pro-baby-euthanasia column in The New York Times by Gary Comstock, a philosophy professor at North Carolina State University, Coyne argues in favor of administering “a lethal injection of…a barbiturate” to gravely ill babies who are suffering as they die.

“If you are allowed to abort a fetus that has a severe genetic defect, microcephaly, spina bifida, or so on,” Coyne asks, “then why aren’t you able to euthanize that same fetus just after it’s born?”

Can you believe this non-sense?  People say that kids have to go to college, they have to get educated….  but if jerks like this guy are the ones who are teaching our kids, I don’t want my kids anywhere near this guy.

Here’s more from The College Fix:

Coyne cites favorably the position of Princeton philosopher Peter Singer, who has also argued in favor of killing disabled newborns. “This is apparently already allowed in the Netherlands,” Coyne points out.

In the Netherlands, the “Groningen Protocol,” a medical text circulated among physicians in that country, is used in order to determine when it is acceptable to end the life of a newborn. The Dutch government has approved of this protocol.

I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that liberals are now just fine with killing babies…  since they also support Roe v Wade.
