Forgive my lack of skills in breaking your quotes into easier to understand segments. I hope it can be read so it makes sense.

Your post makes perfect sense but Whell's doesn't. If you read what I wrote, I was not advocating leaving an early birth newborn baby to die, I was pointing out that to do so is the logical progression of leaving everything to nature but to come back to the question. I guess from your original post that you have strong beliefs, but would you impose them by force of law on everyone? As to snuffing out a life, if pre-natal (sorry about the spelling) tests showed that the fetus if developing to birth would have severe incurable disabilities for the rest of its life, would you accept the potential mother's decision to terminate?
I an NOT in any way disrespecting anyone who has given their heart to looking after their child, no matter what their 'disabilities' are, but I'm putting the question. Given pre-knowledge of incurable disabilities, the kind that mean the child would spend its life having to be cared for by someone else, although this might not be your choice, would you accept that other people have the right to make their choice?
