Journal of Medical Ethics Special issue on infanticide ..........( obviously
for ultra-fresh pediatric organ procurement )
A Washington Post blog has announced that the
editor of the Journal of Medical Ethics, Prof. Julian Savulescu, is
preparing a special issue on infanticide.
This follows the world-wide controversy over the Journal
of Medical Ethics 's February 23 2012 article,
“After-birth abortion:
why should the baby live?”,
by two Italian ethicists working in Australia who argued
that infanticide is morally permissible
( obviously................for ultra-fresh pediatric
organ procurement since pre-birth abortions do not procure organs for
transplantation ).
One contribution of the special issue will be to demonstrate that infanticide is not a novel notion.
Quite a number of serious bioethicists who have defended it
over the past 40 years, will contribute, including Savulescu of Oxford University , Peter Singer of Princeton University
, Michael Tooley, and Jeff McMahon.
However, the author of the blog post, Charles C. Camosy, of Fordham University, in New York, says that Savulecu is also inviting several well-known pro-life opponents to contribute. Camosy is one of them. Others include Robert P. George, of Princeton, and John Finnis, of Oxford.

Stay tuned!
