This is a new attitude. Even 100 years ago it was understood that almost every woman would lose half of her children in infancy. It was a fact of life; you mourned, you buried the baby, you got pregnant again a few months later, sometimes you even named the next baby after his deceased older brother. It remains a fact of life today among virtually all other animal species, and among humans in the third world.

But, oh, the names you will be called, if you stand on a street corner and shout, "Let all the sick African babies die!" We have no stomach for triage except on the battlefield.

People 100 years ago also did all they could to save sick babies. There were just different "facts of life". Infant mortality rates change with tech advances not because of effort. Nobody let their sick child die of smallpox, they did all they could but 100 years ago you could not do enough.

Just out of curiosity....what are your thoughts on involentary euthanasia and killing genetically inferior infants?
