53. I'm vastly more tolerant of the disability rights take
than the right to life one. I just fundamentally disagree that this case is the first step on the slippery slope toward making disability in general a fatal liability. But I'm sympathetic toward the view that it *might* be and that caution is required to ensure that it isn't.
I have no sympathy toward the view that quantity of life should be of greater consideration than quality of life--that maintaining even a spark of life should matter more than evaluating the quality of a life that can't argue for itself.
