Wake Up People! This is a clear example of how the Progressive Elites think! They have no problem at all calling for the death of unwanted humans.

While I don't agree with the idea of literally smothering a child with a pillow... I do question if it really is humane to bring a child into this world if you know for an absolute fact that the child will suffer greatly, extensively, and endlessly.

I think the conservative point of view - namely having a severely and incurably handicapped kid is a gift from god - is equally problematic if not cynical. And the child might not agree...

Just smother them with a pillow, no big deal right?

Who has the right to decide when suffering is too much and death is a better alternative?

I do not condone infanticide under any circumstance. However, how meaningful is life without some semblance of quality?

Who gets to make that decision? So if it is all about quality, do we get to go into the poor areas and just start smothering children?
