Ethicist Says Killing of Sick Children Shouldn't Surprise Us
Dennis K. Brown, University of Notre Dame
SOUTH BEND, Ind., Sept. 17 (AScribe Newswire) -- In an article posted
this week on the Web site of The Weekly Standard, Wesley J. Smith
reports that Groningen University Hospital in the Netherlands has
announced its decision to begin euthanizing children under the age of
12, if doctors believe their suffering is intolerable or if they have
an incurable illness.
According to David Solomon, W.P. and H.B. White Director of Notre
Dame's Center for Ethics and Culture, the decision, however
preposterous, should not be surprising.
"Smith is simply reporting what those familiar with medical policy in
Europe have known for some time -- the assault on children has moved
out of the academy and into the hospitals and clinics of some European
nations," Solomon said. "The direct killing of seriously ill and
disabled children is now widely practiced in the Netherlands and this
development has been documented by such widely respected medical
journals as The Lancet. Belgium also appears to be moving in the same
direction.
"Many people are shocked when they discover that sober philosophers
holding positions at prestigious universities in this country and
Europe regularly defend the moral permissibility of the direct and
fully intentional killing of young children and the severely
disabled," Solomon said, adding that the first defense of such killing
appeared in 1973 in an article, "A Defense of Abortion and
Infanticide," written by a well known and widely respected
philosopher, Michael Tooley, for Philosophy and Public Affairs, a
journal published by Princeton University and regarded by many
philosophers as the leading journal of ethics in the English-speaking
world.
"When Princeton a few years ago named Peter Singer, the Australian
philosopher now most closely identified with the worldwide movement to
legitimize infanticide, to a prestigious chair of ethics in their
University Center for Human Values, Princeton's position as the
academic beating heart of the assault on children was solidified,"
Solomon said. According to Solomon, such developments "confirm what we
all already know -- ideas do have consequences. Where academic
philosophers lead, the illuminati who control the commanding heights
of our secularized culture increasingly tend to follow. When the
current Pope has spoken about contemporary culture as a "Culture of
Death," some have thought his language to be hyperbolic. In light of
these recent developments, however, we might conclude rather that,
once again, Pope John Paul II sees more clearly -- and speaks more
boldly -- than the rest of us."
