Someone named Liora Jacob wants to know if I’m a medical doctor. I am not. I am also not particularly hung up on credentialism and don’t like to waste much time dealing with appeal to authority fallacy.
That said, yes we all know that sometimes severely sick or malformed babies will not have long, healthy or pain free lives. This sad reality does not negate their essential humanity or the obligation of medical professionals to treat them as human patients. I urge you to contemplate the work being done in perinatal and postnatal palliative and hospice care. These sick little humans need not be intentionally killed before delivery or thrown in the garbage post delivery. There are more humane options and studies have well demonstrated what should be somewhat obvious; that the parents of sick babies do much better psychologically and even physically when their helpless child is respected and treated as a human being, and they as parents of children with life limiting conditions are allowed and encouraged to grieve the loss of their human child should they not survive.
From a Christian standpoint (of course not everyone can relate, but many comments here have touched on faith); these children are created in the image of God and loved before the foundation of the world every bit as much as healthy, thriving children.
I would also point out that there are plenty of instances where postnatal diagnosis and prognosis differ substantially from antenatal predictions.
