When people are allowed to kill babies at will, it seems some people will kill a child for any reason. Even if the baby is not what they would view as being “perfect”.

It seems the desire to be glamorous is causing some people to do something that is very ugly. I was born with six fingers, a dominate trait I inherited from my father. Being a dominate genetic trait, Adam himself probably had a good use for the additional digit during his time. We get along fine with 5 fingers (and 5 toes) now and many of us born with the additional digit(s) often have a watered down form of additional digit(s). So it would not be useful to many of us born with one. The doctor simply cuts it off at birth. It’s a simple procedure like circumcision. It does not have any adverse impact, so I have no clue why anyone would get hung up over knowing their child might have an additional digit. I think having this dominate trait is a bit of a blessing. Although it’s more of a nuisance than benefit at birth, it’s just nice to know I carry the trait.

Killing babies for such foolish reasons is what happens when child killing is a commonly accepted activity. We are spinning closer to Western societies being much like the movie Gattaca. I’d recommend everyone check that movie out.
