And that worry isn't crazy.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
10:14
There's a 2023 paper in the Journal of Medical Ethics by a physician named Appel that proposes a framework for non-sexual patient-physician boundaries.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
10:23
The paper notes that this area is largely neglected outside mental health settings, which is striking, because it's in mental health that the boundary questions get most acute.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
10:32
Appel warns against what he calls entanglement.
Kevin SwansonHOST

Belgium nurses have witnessed some form of euthanasia or infanticide.
Kevin SwansonHOST
19:49
But here, the Journal of Medical Ethics talks about after birth abortion, why should the baby live? Fetuses and newborns do not have the same moral status as actual persons.
Kevin SwansonHOST
20:01
This is, again, the article.
Kevin SwansonHOST
20:02
The authors argue that what we call after birth abortion, killing a newborn, should be permissible in all the cases where abortion is.
Kevin SwansonHOST
20:11
including cases where the newborn is not disabled.
Kevin SwansonHOST
20:14
The Journal of Medical Ethics has an article called After Birth Abortion, Why the Baby Should Live.
Kevin SwansonHOST
20:19
Why should the baby live? New York Times has an article, Why They Kill Their Newborns, a three-page article advocating decriminalized infanticide, and it's written by MIT's Steven Pinker.
Kevin SwansonHOST
20:29
Another article, Philosophy and Public Affairs, Abortion and Infanticide.
Logan SekulowHOST
10:13
Yeah.
Jordan SekulowHOST
10:14
But when we talk about the abortion industry and the lobby that is, has pushed boundaries when it comes to what is the norm, I remember a article in the Journal of Medical Ethics that made a lot of waves in 2012, so 14 years ago, that was called After Birth Abortion: Why Should the Baby Live? And it got passed around a lot.
Jordan SekulowHOST
10:38
Obviously, it's very heady, philosophical.
Jordan SekulowHOST
10:41
Basically, these two, uh, doctors were arguing, bioethicists, that it, because a child can't realize their own needs and wants after birth, that after-birth abortion should also be permitted.
Wayne McRoyHOST
2:27
And as disgusting and ridiculous as that sounds, I'm not kidding.
Wayne McRoyHOST
2:31
This is a paper that was put in the Journal of Medical Ethics, uh, way back in 2012, if I remember correctly, and they talked about the justification for something like this.
Wayne McRoyHOST
2:45
If, if the existence of a child in a parent's or woman's life causes them some type of extreme distress or extreme psychological trauma, then it should be justified for that child to be ended in much the same way that they accept abortion.
Wayne McRoyHOST
3:05
And this is a horrible, horrible stance that many of these ethicists have taken a- and this is something that I found deeply disturbing back then, and even more so now, because I warned people that this is kind of the slow roll of how they normalize that way of thinking about this stuff in way back when, when I covered this years ago on air.
Richard WillettHOST
5:41
I'm reading it out to point out.
Richard WillettHOST
5:43
And it-- when was this, Wayne? When did this come out, this paper?
Wayne McRoyHOST
5:46
It was originally published first in, I think it was December of 2011, and it was published in The Journal of Medical Ethics in 2012.
Wayne McRoyHOST
5:54
I think March of 2012, if I remember correctly.
Ali HammudaHOST

and was heard saying, oh Allah, I deem it highly sinful that the rights of the two vulnerable ones should be violated, orphans and women, then we understand why the world now looks towards Islam.
Ali HammudaHOST
10:27
When babies are aborted and incinerated alongside other waste to heat UK hospitals as exposed by Channel 4's dispatches, When newborn babies are left inside bins, or as they call them, baby boxes, public spaces with pull-down doors for unwanted newborns, just like those drop-off bins that we use in libraries when returning a book, And when 43% of children across 27 EU countries were born to unmarried mothers, according to EU statistics arm Eurostat in 2016, when reputable journals host articles with the title of after birth abortion, why should the baby live? As was published in the Journal of Medical Ethics in 2013, arguing in favor of infanticide, or they call it in the big scientific word, neonatal euthanasia.
Ali HammudaHOST
11:20
Whilst with us is a book, the Quran, that abolished the Arab pre-Islamic practice of infanticide, saying, When the baby girls buried alive are asked, For what crime were they put to death? At that moment, we understand why the world now looks towards Islam.

At a time when more greenhouse gases are being pumped into the atmosphere than ever before, causing our planet to become warmer today than at any other point in history, changing natural cycles, weather patterns, extreme heat, protracted drought, flooding, more intense storms and rising sea levels, effects that have come to be known as climate change, at a time when, I quote, tens of thousands of scientists in more than a hundred nations have amassed overwhelming amount of evidence pointing to a clear conclusion, humans are the main cause of climate change.
