  The government is requiring federally funded hospitals to set up review committees to monitor life-and-death decisions about babies who need immediate medical care. Also, notices are to be posted warning that it is unlawful to discriminate against newborns by withholding ordinary treatment because they are handicapped. I suppose some did argue that letting infants die from lack of medical care was not technically killing them. Koop called it infanticide. In the 1970s-80s Koop crusaded against attempts to classify newborns as fetus ex-utero that could be legally terminated at will.
