I think too many people ignore the “parents” part of singer’s argument. If a parent is willing to kill their child, then either 1. That’s a super f-ed up parent, or 2. it probably is the compassionate thing to do. Anyone who jumps to comparisons to racist euthanasia programs is missing the point entirely, because the kid’s own parents are not going to act the same as some random Old South judge who’s headed to the Klan rally after court gets out.
