Roman Catholic organizations and the Vatican have reacted with outrage
to the announcement, and U.S. euthanasia opponents contend the
proposal shows the Dutch have lost their moral compass.

"The slippery slope in the Netherlands has descended already into a
vertical cliff,"

I can't think of a way to mock this. Consider it mocked.

Problem is that there are a gazillion things
that can afflict infants, some really look gross
but are not hard to surgically correct, others
that look pretty mild on the surface, but have
really horrific long-term consequences.

If you take the really extreme cases, most people
would be willing to say "okay, gork the kid"; but
it won't stay that way. For example, what if the
kid just needs some expensive surgery, but they'll
prolly be fine after that?

Most people would say "give the kid his surgery",
but a cost-conscious government bureaucrat might
disagree. "Is the life of a child worth $250k of
*government* money? I think not!"

What if the kid is otherwise healthy, but looks
horrible? I mean, dog-ass ugly in appearance, with
really ugly port-wine blemishes, hair where it isn't
supposed to have hair, an asymetrical face that just
makes you want to put it out of its misery?

And back to the kid that "looks" fine, but is really
forked up inside? The parents see what looks like
their normal, healthy and happy baby one minute, and
the doctor says, "Nope. Sorry. Gonna have to kill
the kid. Nurse, hand me my croquet mallet and some
5 penny nails." Now, there's a scene that will be
ugly on a stick.

Especially when they call the police to prevent the
parents from "interfering" in their child's euthanasia.

These situations may sound ludicrous, but in past with
similar things, like "sterilization courts" (in many
countries), they were twisted almost as soon as they
got started.
