I am asking a serious question, looking for a serious answer.


Clearly, we all are opposed to murder. But that does not tell us much. Murder is illegal killing. In a society where infanticide is legal, it would no longer be murder. However, we would still find it morally repugnant.

So, a simple question - why? Why do we find it morally repugnant?
I think you got your answer from PH who said :

Infanticide will get you the needle, because babies aren't able to threaten you with harm. No self-defense there...
ANd I think we all agree with that. I doubt you will find a different answer from us here.


Delusion- A persistent false belief held in the face of strong contradictory evidence. (i.e. religion)
