Doctors, Remember Your Oath: First Do No Harm!

Doctor Insists Parents of Baby With Cleft Lip Starve Him to Death | LifeNews.com:

 "It’s scary. It’s shocking. And its implications are dangerous. How many other hospitals starve babies to death, simply based on a “defect”? How many other doctors instruct new parents to leave their newborns to die or wallow in an institution for the rest of their lives?  We're aware that many doctors in the United States recommend abortions for babies whose potential disabilities show up on ultrasounds or in prenatal testing. We're also aware that, sadly, all too many parents choose abortion in these cases. And all too often, their babies are discovered to either be perfectly 'normal' or the parents later on discover that the disability or defect was one they definitely could have lovingly dealt with, had they only been given accurate and complete information."
