Newborn Infants with Severe Handicaps: Live or Die?

Newborn retirement can not lead a normal life due to severe disability. This is a very controversial issue in our country. The controversial weather is the life of a disabled baby worth living, even if they can not live an ordinary lifestyle. Whether the newborn should live or die. A person with a disability is defined as "a person physically or mentally disabled that substantially limits the primary daily activity of one or more such persons" (Altun & Ersoy).

Someone will die someday, but for some people serious medical conditions can only extend their waiting time at the end of their life. Even from older men and women diagnosed as hopeless amnesia from neonates with severe disability, euthanasia has been acquired and sought from the position in society since its birth. Passive voluntary and active are two main forms of euthanasia. Cancer patients who died within a month may ask their ventilator to close and remove the IV syringe. This is an example of passive euthanasia. A case of active euthanasia is a patient who helps suicide. An example is a doctor who provides a lethal dose of medicine to insert an arm. But doctors can not introduce drugs to patients without killing them. This is similar to Dr. Death's recent behavior.

Infants and newborn babies who can make such a death decisions can be divided into three categories First, there is no possibility that the baby will survive. This group consists of babies who are about to die right after birth despite the best care using the latest local methods. These babies are suffering from serious underlying diseases such as hypoplasia of lungs and kidneys. Infants in the second group had very poor prognosis and were dependent on intensive care. After a period of intensive care, these patients may survive, but expectations for future conditions are very serious. They are young children with extensive organ dysfunction caused by severe brain abnormalities or extreme hypoxemia. When these babies can survive the intensive care period, their prognosis is very bad and their quality of life is poor.
