How it can be an over-simplitic thing? Is there any room for a valid argument/justification of killing a child (except for "cultural thing" bullshit)?

- tomhoward 8y agoI find it troubling too, of course, but it is simplistic to not consider it in its anthropological and evolutionary context, and against our own societies' values around euthanasia. Dr Peter Singer, a prominent and respected professor at one of the world's leading universities, has expressed (and being condemned for) positions around this topic in the western world in recent decades. I find those positions troubling too and I don't agree with them or defend them. But it's not a simple issue, and complex, controversial issues like this need to be approached with caution, else we end up in hostile flame wars that benefit nobody.
