EDIT: [AS IN] I can't seem to form an opinion on this subject as presented in the article. I don't know whether or not to be for it or against it - for this specific ideal.

Along the same lines as my pro-choice stance: I don't support killing babies. But I do support mercy. And I do not think euthanasia is "murder". Granted, a baby can't make decisions for themselves, but on the other hand, you can see when they are in pain and are going to die anyway. What's the other option? If it's known they're dying, then they will die. Just either in a long and painful way or in a short manner. Nothing would have happened that wouldn't have in the other scenario aside from some pain and suffering can be skipped over.
This is why we euthanize our pets when they get so sick they are dying too. And I don't say this to belittle babies at all because I love my cats deeply.
I think the media makes too much of this. In fact, I think the media is corrupt once again, but that's for another post. Rather than sharing news and facts they now have taken the role of sharing and enforcing opinions. Damn them.
