Newborn babies should be killed if they have a severely life-limiting condition, a professor claimed in mid-July.
Professor Jerry Coyne predicted that infanticide, the killing of newborn babies, will someday become ‘widespread’ and ‘it will be for the better’.
Coyne, known for his book Why Evolution is True (OUP), believes that the practice will be morally acceptable ‘when religion vanishes’. The University of Chicago professor made the comments on his personal blog.
