Should we call it "Anglicide" ?

The Daily Mail reports that a medical association in the UK proposes that severely disabled children be killed by their doctors. The group argues this will spare them from further suffering and their families from the pointless expense of keeping doomed babies alive for only a brief time.

If that isn't stunning enough, a leading Bishop in the Church of England actually supports this despicable idea. This is the parent denomination of the Episcopal Church in the US. No wonder the Pilgrims fled to America.

This is where it starts. The killing of "hopelessly deformed" infants will lead to the killing of those with survivable, but inconvenient, handicaps. From there it's a quick jump to the active termination of elderly and terminally ill people. We have to stop this madness now.
