Man oh man, Sherri, I read this yesterday and it didn't hit me until I saw this post. Your average dog has more respect for life than 9 out of 10 bioethicists

Man & dog-the difference: the dog uses instinct the man...well obviously he doesn't use anything, not even his brain. I just don't get it. Everytime I hear a story about someone abandoning their child like this or abusing one, I don't understand why they don't just give the child to someone. Family. Neighbor. Hospital. Anyone.
