UK: “consider euthanasia for disabled newborns”

Not a statement, but a “proposal”, by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecology, to seriously consider the hypothesis to practice euthanasia on seriously disabled newborns. One of the reasons: it would decrease late abortions in the event of diseases or risk of deformities, because parents would agree to “take a risk” in a pregnancy, knowing that it's always possible to later suppress the baby.
