Is there selfishness in this case?

Came across this piece of news a few days ago. Although I agree that the parents do not seem to want to let the baby suffer due to its handicap, I feel like it is selfishness on the part of the parents to just kill it. If they can truly love and take care of a baby even if it is handicapped in any way, there is no way the child will feel bad anytime in his/her life. After all, that is the basic responsibility of any parent towards his/her child, to love UNCONDITIONALLY. What if they had not known that the baby will have such problems?

It is so sad that a lot of Indians too are supporting the abortion instead of saving the baby. People talk about legal rights and stuff. Hey, you first have to obey the law to claim more for your legal rights. How many of us bribe govt. officials, don't pay taxes, produce fake medical prescriptions, among a whole lot of other stuff?

I personally feel that it is more like killing a baby to abort. Just because it is not out of the womb it is not another human being? Study shows that the human embryo becomes a seperate being right at the moment of fertilization. Above all, nobody has any right to kill another human being. Why do high courts and supreme courts do no excercise capital punishments and instead impose life imprisonment as the highest verdict in most cases? Because, they do not want to punish people with death. It is morally wrong to punish with corporal punishments. Only God has the right to take or give life because He is the only Potent Almighty who creates life.

I appreciate the Mumbai HC for their decision and above all the Indian constitution that made a law that allows abortion only in case of danger to either the mother's or the baby's life. Abortion should not be allowed in any other case. It is not a right to kill an innocent and helpless new creation even before it breathes the world's air. I was appalled when I saw this among Chennai-ites. Though science has taken the world by storm in medicine, it is morality that counts at the end of the day. It is not moral to kill. Why don't we just start killing every other handicapped, mentally challenged, or AIDS infected Indian citizens and justify ourselves saying we are "concerned about the quality of their lives?" They are leading a miserable life anyway , aren't they?
