Belgium Descends to Infanticide

It took the Dutch about 20 years to get to the point from accepting euthanasia to countenancing infanticide. It has only taken the Belgians a few years to jump off the same vertical moral cliff. Not unexpectedly—and this isn’t the first such report—eugenic infanticide is now occurring in Belgium, some of it based on “quality of life” determinations. This is the moral equivalent of exposing disabled babies on hills.

No. There is no such thing as a slippery slope.
