Just When You Thought That Socialized Medicine Couldn’t Get More Ghoulish

     The British National Health Service (NHS) isn’t content to just force the elderly and infants to die slow excruciating deaths, now they have a scheme to have mothers whose unborn babies are diagnosed with “fatal defects” to go ahead with the pregnancy for the purpose of harvesting the baby’s organs.

“Most expectant mothers opt for termination after being told the devastating news their child has no chance of survival once born.

“But now, amid a chronic shortage of donated organs, mums will be ‘supported’ to have the baby at nine months so that the child’s vital organs can be taken for transplant.

“…

“In some cases, where donation has been agreed, babies could be certified brain dead but their bodies kept alive by artificial ventilation. Surgeons could then remove organs from these so-called ‘heartbeat babies’ when they are fresh, maximising what can be used and the chance of successful transplant.”

     The claim is that “[u]nder no circumstances would our staff or anybody else within the NHS pressure women to continue with a pregnancy solely for the possibility of organ donation.”

     Of course promises regarding euthanasia have been made to only kill people in their right mind and with their consent…

     It is almost as if the NHS watched the Planned Parenthood baby-parts videos and thought to themselves “Hey! We can top that!”
