....and dont take away our equal human dignity

During a recent gathering Mr. Yadh Ben Achour, member of the U.N. Human Rights Committee (UNHRC) declared that 'though it is necessary to help disabled people once they are born, this doesnt mean that we have to accept to allow a fetus suffering with impairment to live. He added we must do everything we can to avoid disabilities. At this point, the Chairman had to intervene to remind the Committee members that the debate is recorded. The statements clearly reflect a eugenic ideology.

If Mr. Ben Achour's statement was intented to promote the prevention of impairments caused by drunk driving, perhaps many would agree. However the statement was intended to promote the prevention of impairment by selective abortion.
