^Yeah that's pretty disturbing, but I personally don't feel too much emotion over it when most aren't done "personal" reasons. In almost all cases they are performed if the fetus has a serious disability or genetic disorder, because the mother's life is in danger if she carries the baby to term, or rape and as far as I know 2nd-3rd trimester abortions arein the 1% bracket of abortion.

That's the question of active euthanasia and passive euthanasia.

To put it frankly abortion is dangerous and is like murder. Heck how on earth could some people just decide to kill their baby like that when they are actually are luckly to have a possible born baby alive and breathing. [shakes head]

Should this be kept alive rather than aborted?

^ That is unfortunate but who are you to decide if he or she should live or die? People should have their lives taken for them for serious criminal offenses only.

If you think some persons deserve to be euthanized for severe physical deformities, what about persons with serious personality disorders or who are just plain mean?

A sane, responsible, merciful person. It is practically borderline sadism of the slimiest, self-righteous type to let such highly unfortunate children live, to toss them into a firepit of suffering for life and appear "humane".

There are certain things both on individual and state level that may seem dirty and unfortunate, but they nevertheless have to be done, or we're where we are now in modern liberal democrazies.

Agreed. I may not be a big fan of abortion there are cases where it is the best available option.
