Según esta publicación, los bebés son "personas en potencia" por lo tanto se les podrían aplicar los mismos motivos por los cuales podrían ser "abortados después de nacer" .After-birth abortion: why should the baby live? Es como se llama el artículo publicado en el Journal of Medical Ethics.
Algunas de las perlas:
"Why should we kill a healthy newborn when giving it up for adoption would not breach anyone's right but possibly increase the happiness of people involved (adopters and adoptee)? We also need to consider the interests of the mother who might suffer psychological distress from giving her child up for adoption. Birthmothers are often reported to experience serious psychological problems due to the inability to elaborate their loss and to cope with their grief.10 It is true that grief and sense of loss may accompany both abortion and after-birth abortion as well as adoption, but we cannot assume that for the birthmother the latter is the least traumatic."
