I'm not getting into this discussion with you again. I'm just saying, I know a surprising number people who might've been euthanized as babies and are glad they weren't.
Me, I draw the line for "abortion isn't acceptable anymore" long before birth.
Ah, but that's you speaking as somebody that wouldn't have been put down at/near birth.
Speaking as somebody that *would* have been euthanized were infanticide legal, I'm personally extremely happy that people couldn't force their idea of "mercy" on me based on how *they* would want to be treated.
But don't we generally put dogs down when they're older? I suppose puppies do get put down. . . I don't know. That gets into a bunch of ethical things, from euthanasia to whether animals can feel.
