This is, well, evil. Pure and unadulterated evil. I used to think that partial birth abortion was the vilest of "medical" procedures. But it's been surpassed. Once again, mankind proves how vile and wicked he can be.
The name of this new "medical" practice: the Groningen Protocol.
Under the Groningen protocol, if doctors at the hospital think a child is suffering unbearably from a terminal condition, they have the authority to end the child's life. The protocol is likely to be used primarily for newborns, but it covers any child up to age 12.
The hospital, beyond confirming the protocol in general terms, refused to discuss its details.
"It is for very sad cases," said a hospital spokesman, who declined to be identified. "After years of discussions, we made our own protocol to cover the small number of infants born with such severe disabilities that doctors can see they have extreme pain and no hope for life. Our estimate is that it will not be used but 10 to 15 times a year."
A parent's role is limited under the protocol. While experts and critics familiar with the policy said a parent's wishes to let a child live or die naturally most likely would be considered, they note tha the the decision must be professional, so rests with doctors.
And Jesus wept.
