Boltster's recent lack of brainpower is due to the traumatic brain injury he suffered due to trying to control the powers of my avatars. Just wanted to clear that up for everyone

"it is morally questionable to decide to not kill a baby"

Is your issue with this story the fact that the British government mandated Alfie to be taken off life support, or do you actually equate taking a brain-damaged, doomed child off life support with 'killing a baby'?

yes

[SeventhSandwich]

yes

you should read about Hiroshi Ouchi and Jahi McMath and tell me whether you think that a 'life-at-all-costs' mentality really outweighs euthanasia

that's literally what it is, so yes.

he is still going to say yes, fyi

[SeventhSandwich]

In the most bare-bones literal sense, then yeah. But it's not murder or even unethical in my opinion.

I would figure you would be the most opposed to what's going on with this kid. There's ostensibly a soul inside of that badly damaged, deteriorating body. It was never nature/god's plan for this kid to be artificially sustained for years inside of a doomed, breathing corpse, and it's only the desperation and hubris of his parents and doctors that has prevented him from peacefully passing to the next life.

takes one to know one

holy forget lmao you're not even trying anymore

where did you get any of that from what i just said? i think taking someone off life support and killing them are exactly the same with exactly the same results. i never talked about euthanasia and i'm not going to because that's not what you loving asked

don't put words in my mouth

Maybe we've got a miscommunication here. Do you think it would be unethical to end the kid's life or not?

Depends on if the kid is brown an starfish or not.
