Where do you draw the line, though?

Debating withdrawal of care or even euthanasia for severely disabled infants

In Britain, a woman who finds out her unborn child is severely disabled can abort the foetus at 28 weeks. A woman whose child is born prematurely at 22 weeks has no such option. An ethics committee in Britain is planning to debate various measures to prevent long-life cost and poor quality of life for such infants. Disability activists say doctors shouldn't be making those sorts of decisions, especially if the driving factor is cost to the system. The only place so far in which newborns may have treatment withdrawn or in some cases be euthanised is in the Netherlands. It's very unlikely any recommendations of the committee would lead to any legal changes in the system in Britain, but they wanted to debate the ethics of the situation anyway.
