Infanticide is justifiable in some cases, says ethics professor
"Professor John Harris, a member of the British Medical Association's ethics committee, said that it was not 'plausible to think that there is any moral change that occurs during the journey down the birth canal' - suggesting that there was no moral difference between aborting a foetus and killing a baby."
At last, we have a little honesty in this discussion about abortion. The British Medical Association later says that they are his private views, not those of the BMA. Notice, of course, that the BMA doesn't say he was doing anything bad.
