Journal of Medical Ethics blog Blog Archive
The Journal has received a string abusive emails for its decision to publish this article. This abuse is typically anonymous.

I am not sure about the legality of publishing abusive threatening anonymous correspondence, so I won t repeat it here. But fortunately there is plenty on the web to choose from. Here are some responses:
These people are evil. Pure evil. That they feel safe in putting their twisted thoughts into words reveals how far we have fallen as a society.
Right now I think these two devils in human skin need to be delivered for immediate execution under their code of after birth abortions they want to commit murder that is all it is! MURDER!!!
I don t believe I ve ever heard anything as vile as what these people are advocating. Trpatagonia better sweater pillinguly, truly scary.
The fact that the Journal of Medical Ethics published this outrageous and immoral piece of patagonia travel bag reviewswork is even scarier As Editor of the Journal, I would like to defend its publication.
The nopatagonia guide jacket measurement0vel contribution of this paper is not an argument in favour of infanticide the paper repeats the arguments made famous by Tooley and Singer but rather their application in consideration of maternal and family interests. The paper also draws attention to the fact that infanticide is practised in the Netherlands.
Many people will and have disagreed with these arguments. However, the goal of the Journal of Medical Ethics is not to present the Truth or promote some one moral view. It is to present well reasoned argument based on widely accepted premipatagonia simple guide pants smallses. Their capacities are relevantly similar. If abortion is permissible, infanticide should be permissible.
Of course, many people will argue that on this basis abortion should be recriminalised. Those arguments can be well made and the Journal would publish a paper than made such a case coherently, originally and with application to issues of public or medical concern. The Journal does not specifically support substantive moral views, ideologies, theories, dogmas or moral outlooks, over others. It supports sound rational argument. Moreover, it supports freedom of ethical expression. The Journal welcomes reasoned coherent responses to After Birth Abortion. Or indeed on any toppatagonia guide jacket measurement2ic relevant to medical ethics.
What is disturbing is not the arguments in this paper nor its publication in an ethics journal. It is the hostile, abusive, threatening responses that it has elicited. More than ever, proper academic discussion and freedom are under threat from fanatics opposed to the very values of a liberal society. Liberals are disgusting. They have criminal minds. To think that a person must be considered worthy to live is criminal.
It seems to me if good people are not going to stand up to do away with people who believe in doing away with live babies, then it means no one is good, and it s just easier for God to drop a couplepatagonia argentina map new hampshire asteroids on earth.
i can t even comment on this atrocity. I know these people are murderers in their hearts. And God will treat them as such. They are completely spiritually dead.
I have to say that I would personally kill anyone doing a after birth abortion if I had the chance. Is that clear enough?
The comments include openly racist remarks:
Albepatagonia guide jacket measurement3rto Giubilini looks like a muslim so I have topatagonia discount code yoox agree with him that all muslims should have been aborted. If abortion fails, no life at birth just like he wants.
Journal of Medical Ethics hahaha! You libs and your qpatagonia everlong review external harduack science. Ya think that s impressive, Albutt Franpoop? No ! I can beat you in my sleep. Here goes:
I take a subject of a moral right to life to mean an individual who is capable of attributing to my own expatagonia guide jacket measurement1istence some (at least) basic value such that being deprived of this existence represents a loss tpatagonia everlong review 03o me.
Here s the projected moral status you comunisti italiani pigs would get: Bang, bang. Drop in toxic waste dump reserved for left wing contaminants.
What the response to this article reveals, through the microscope of the web, is the deep disorder of the modern world. Not that people would give arguments in favour of infanticide, but the deep opposition thatpatagonia guide jacket measurement exists now to liberal values and fanatical opposition to any kind of reasoned engagement.

Now, it is wrong to advocate violence against these two men. However, it is also wrong to generalize moral abhorrence to the article/study as hate speech.
It should provoke anger. I am no religious fanatic, religion is irrelevant to the subject at hand. We are talking about justifying a perspective on the value of life that would accord those with power the ability to casually slaughter those without free of guilt or consequence.
That cannot be allowed in a civilized society. And you can be damned sure millions of people would fight to prpatagonia los lobos jacket reviewevent such murder should it be adopted as a legal practice.
