on the contrary, i believe that, from purely biological point of view, infanticide could be considered the norm, and refraining from it a sort of recent deviation from the natural impulse imposed by social norms. in brasil there is still a tribe that gives the freedom to new mother to either keep the baby or "return it to the spirits" meaning filling it's mouth with bee wax and leave it in the forest do suffocate

Infanticide, which might seem contrary to human nature, was almost universal before the rise of Christianity, and is recommended by Plato to prevent over-population.

Let us take an illustration. Suppose that, at a given moment, a certain number of people are engaged in the manufacture of pins. They make as many pins as the world needs, working (say) eight hours a day. Someone makes an invention by which the same number of men can make twice as many pins as before. But the world does not need twice as many pins: pins are already so cheap that hardly any more will be bought at a lower price. In a sensible world, everybody concerned in the manufacture of pins would take to working four hours instead of eight, and everything else would go on as before. But in the actual world this would be thought demoralizing. The men still work eight hours, there are too many pins, some employers go bankrupt, and half the men previously concerned in making pins are thrown out of work. There is, in the end, just as much leisure as on the other plan, but half the men are totally idle while half are still overworked. In this way, it is insured that the unavoidable leisure shall cause misery all round instead of being a universal source of happiness. Can anything more insane be imagined?

First of all: what is work? Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relatively to other such matter; second, telling other people to do so. The first kind is unpleasant and ill paid; the second is pleasant and highly paid. The second kind is capable of indefinite extension: there are not only those who give orders, but those who give advice as to what orders should be given.

what about someone completely sane and healthy who has made a definite decision to terminate his existence but does not wish to see tens of thousands late to work because of him/her, or to have to put anybody to chore of scraping the body from the pavement? if it's rational, persistent and final decision on which grounds should he be denied clean and convenient death and be forced to an opposite one?

the whole idea is to get banks to start lending again. you can't just give them directly, so distribute it firstly to "public" and next thing u know, it's on it's destination baby. plus you buy in some votes along the way
