Does it depend on what culture we belong to if it’s termed “good”?

Babies were judge by the Greek city-state of Sparta, as newborns, to determine whether the baby was strong enough and would ultimately support the Spartan lifestyle of war and hate, or be taken to a lonely mountainside and left alone, purposefuly, to die.

This shocking principle is still in practice today.

Does our national pride distort our judgment of right or wrong? Are we blinding ourselves from the truth — mortally wounding ourselves, ignoring the pain and the infesting sores which we need to cleanse?

Is there any difference when an unknown infant is placed in a garbage can and dies of exposure? Or a baby is left uncared for “off to the side” from the other newborns in the hospital nursery, labeled “Do not feed!” Where are the babies who have survived the saline abortion procedure and courageously held on for life?

Where are the arms that would hold, the hands that would clothe, the hearts that would love this child and mother who would nurture and feed her child? Robin R. Smith Levant
