Harvesting Infant Hearts........?

That is a very difficult ethical question. It starts touching on the subject of Euthanasia. If you've decided that these lives are not worth saving, what is the real difference between killing them and allowing them to die? People are so scared of crossing that line that they delude themselves into thinking that there is a difference. I think people need to admit the truth of what they are really doing and make their ethical decisions based on that truth. They killed 3 dying babies so three other dying babies could live. They made a value judgment on which lives were more important. That is a really tough call to make, and it sets a precedent that may not be very pleasant. The slippery slope and all that. I'm not saying they did the wrong thing, just that they should be honest with themselves about what they did.
