North Korea - the new Eugenics capital of the world

Newsmax is reporting about the Eugenics policies of North Korea to eliminate birth defects. The elimination of birth defects sounds great, but the problem is they implement it by murdering the child shortly after birth when the defects are detected. According to NewsMax:

Ri Kwang-chol, a physician who fled to South Korea last year, told rights activists that the practice of killing newborns was widespread, but said he had no part in it.

"There are no people with physical defects in North Korea," Ri told members of the New Right Union, which aids North Korean refugees.

He said babies born with physical disabilities were killed in hospitals or in homes and quickly buried, Reuters reports.

It is my hope that any reading this are still able to see the deep wrong in such a practice. In the US we are moving quickly toward a pattern of thinking where we might be too desensitized to recognize this as evil. In our society we have stood by and watched as:

• Abortion for any reason became legal resulting in "the inconvenience of pregnancy" as the number one reason for termination. Translation: abortion as a form of birth-control (where often the same woman has multiple abortions for this same reason)
• A woman loved and cared for by her family starved to death so the husband could move on with his life. Where the courts would not even allow another evaluation in case the first was wrong.
• Euthanasia is routinely practiced silently across the country to rid us of the inconvenience of a relative who needs care to finish their life with dignity.

We are slowly being desensitized to the wrongness of these practices and are not far from embracing such barbarism as is being claimed of North Korea. Will we move next to giving birth to a child with a birth defect and kill it? Will we then move next to giving birth to a child with brown hair and brown eyes when we wanted blond hair and blue eyes and kill it?

Liberalism wants no boundaries. I was listening to Michael Medved debating with a caller yesterday about how conservatives are considered more successful because they are using conservative values to define success. When Medved asked for an alternative definition to success, the underlying answer was everyone defining success for themselves and achieving it. In other words, there was no other definition for success. No boundaries; just decide what you want to do and do it and that makes you a success. Where it comes to decisions of life and morality, they do not want boundaries either. Hopefully readers are not too far gone to see the evil of North Korea. Hopefully readers will see that we are heading in the same path because of the direction the movers and shakers are pushing us to.
