A
meeting was held quite far from Earth;
"It's time again for another Birth",
Said the Angels to the Lord
above,
This special child will need much love.
His progress may be very
slow;
Accomplishments he may not show.
And he'll require extra care
From the folks he meets down there.
He may not run or laugh or
play.
His thoughts may seem quite far away.
In many ways he won't adapt
And he'll be known as 'handicapped'.
So let's be careful where
he's sent;
We want his life to be content.
Please Lord, find the Parents
who
Will do a special job for you.
They will not realize right
away
The leading role they're asked to play.
But with this child sent from
above
Comes stronger Faith and richer Love.
And soon they'll know the
privilege given
In caring for their gift from Heaven.
Their precious charge, so
meek and mild
Is Heaven's very Special Child.

Isaiah 55: 8,9
"For My
thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,
saith the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways
higher than your ways,
and My thoughts than your thoughts".
Dedicated to our Mary Catherine and Barbara Ann,
and to all Special Children everywhere.

Ending lives of

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/232776_focus17.html
In his
State of the Union address in 1905, Roosevelt stated:
"There are those who believe that a new modernity demands a
new morality. What they fail to consider is the harsh reality
that there is no such thing as a new morality. There is only one
morality. All else is immorality. There is
only true Christian ethics over against which stands the whole of
paganism. If we are to fulfill our great
destiny as a people, then we must return to the old morality, the
sole morality. ... All these blatant sham reformers, in the name
of a new morality, preach the old vice of self-indulgence which
rotted out first the moral fiber and then even the external
greatness of Greece and Rome."

Church of England allows killing handicapped babies -- Nov. 14,
2006 -- financial expediency
Comments at end of article
And the Bishop of Southwark, Tom
Butler, who is the vice chair of the Church
of England's Mission and Public Affairs Council, has also argued
that the high financial cost of keeping desperately ill babies
alive should be a factor in life or death decisions
A spokeswoman for the UK Disabled People's Council, which
represents tens of thousands of members in 140 different
organisations, said:
"How can the Church of England say that
Christian compassion includes killing of disabled babies either
through the withdrawing or withholding of treatment or by active
euthanasia?
"It is not for doctors or indeed anyone else to determine
whether a baby’s life is worthwhile simply
on the grounds of impairment or health condition
Yet the Revd Butler's submission makes clear that there
are a wide range of acceptable reasons to withdraw care from a
child - with the cost of the care
among the considerations
UK Disabled Peoples Council spokeswoman Simone Aspis said
the group's members were appalled that the Church was joining
doctors in calling for disabled babies to be left to die.
"It appears that the whole debate on whether disabled babies
are worth keeping alive is being dominated by professionals and
religious people without any consultation with
disabled people," she said

Plea to kill handicapped ( infants first, who next ?? ) --
Nov. 5, 2006
John Wyatt, consultant neonatologist at University College
London, said:
"Intentional killing is not part of medical care. The
majority of doctors and health care professionals believe that
once you introduce the possibility of intentional killing into
medical practice you change the fundamental nature of
medicine."

COMMENT :
" Let the ones suggesting the above go first and show their
support of efficiency by euthanasia,
could not be classified as 'do as i say' rather than 'do as i
do'." --SM
COMMENT
" The simple story here is that all nations are proven by
the care they provide to the neediest and most vulnerable of its'
citizens.
If a nation seeks to circumvent God's decisions regarding life -
it will ultimately have to answer for not being willing to make
the effort to care and provide comfort to the neediest of its'
number" -- Kate
COMMENT :
" I am shocked by this article. How can anyone wish to
murder a child just becuase they have a disability? Every child
that is born is born for a reason; if they were not meant to be
here, they would not have survived in the womb. Every child is a
gift and should be valued and accepted for who they are,
regardless of ability or disability, and have a right to live
just as anyone else does.
I work with children who have severe learning difficulties and
disabilties and I cannot imagine a world where they are killed at
birth just because they are considered to be 'different' by some
doctors.
Is killing children with disabilities just the same as Hitler
killing disabled children before and during World War Two?"

EXPEDIENCY, EFFICIENCY KILLING
--Nov. 5, 2006
Dr Pieter Sauer, co-author of the Dutch national guidelines on
euthanasia of newborns, told the paper British paediatricians
were performing mercy killings and the practice should be open.
However, the British Council of Disabled People told the
newspaper if euthanasia were introduced for certain conditions it
would tell people with those conditions "they were worth
less than other members of society".

Peter Singer wins international ethics
award --July 13, 2003
A controversial professor who advocates killing
the disabled up to 28 days after birth, has
been honored with an international ethics award.
Peter Singer, professor of bioethics at Princeton University, has
been given the 2003 World Technology Award for Ethics by the
World Technology Network.
The organization says its members are dedicated to the business
and science of emerging technologies such as biotechnology and
new energy sources.
When Singer was hired by Princeton in 1999, a group
calling itself Princeton Students Against Infanticide issued a
petition in protest, charging the Australian professor
"denies the intrinsic moral worth of an entire class of
human beings – newborn children."
"His assertion of the appropriateness of killing some humans
based on others' decision concerning the "quality" of
their lives should strike fear into everyone who cherishes
equality and honors human life," the petition said. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=33531
Do we honor people who advocate killing innocent and
vulnerable babies ??
God forbid ! Isaiah 5
Technology is not the barometer of ethics anymore than business
is the barometer of kindness.
