leaving babies to die [afghanistan / sky news centric]

sarkyfox [Edit] [Delete] 18:22, 18 August '09

on Sky News at the moment they keep showing the footage of a little baby being born, then explaining that her feet are twisted and deformed and that she has a large growth on her spine.

the doctors give the parents the option to decide whether she lives or dies (they say something like 'if they want her to live, we feed her, if not, we don't), and the parents decide to let her die.

the voiceover then says that the next day she died.

has anyone else seen this today? it's so horrible, on many levels.
