If you make a deal with the devil, you should not be surprised at a hellish result.
An abortion in Milan that killed a healthy twin fetus instead of her sibling with Down syndrome is a case of eugenics "imposing its law," says L'Osservatore Romano.After it was discovered that the unborn baby with Down syndrome survived, a successive abortion later ended her life....
Bishop Elio Sgreccia, president of the Pontifical Commission for Life, spoke with Vatican Radio today about the case.He said: "All of us have to feel involved in this and many other cases that are repeated every day, to take on a new and different commitment for the respect of human life from its first moment, because these little ones share in the same dignity we have."And in the case that they have some sort of sickness, that simply means that they have more motive to be helped."
No, apparently not. Having "some sort of sickness" is a legal, and socially acceptable excuse for your parents to kill you, actually.
The not-sick? (or rather, not so sick, we're none of us perfect...)
Well, that's just collateral damage.
Acceptable losses.
