article in Journal of Medical Ethics supports infanticide

Here is a link to an article in the National Right to Life News discussing an article in the Journal of Medical Ethics supporting infanticide. http://www.nationalrighttolifenews.org/news/2012/02/ethicists-give-thumbs-up-to-infanticide/ According to the JME article, since newborns are only “potential persons” they don’t have moral value.

Here is commentary from Dave Andrusko,  http://www.nationalrighttolifenews.org/news/2012/02/infanticide-why-not/

and Wesley Smith. http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/secondhandsmoke/2012/02/25/killing-baby-non-persons-all-grist-for-bioethics-mill/

UPDATE: Here is an update from Wesley Smith on the authors’ “apology.” http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/secondhandsmoke/2012/03/06/the-great-after-birth-abortion-non-apology-apology/
