An
ultrasound of a fetus of 20 weeks
|
Researchers
at the Erasmus medical centre and the Amsterdam medical centre are asking
health minister Edith Schippers to drop the 24-week limit on abortion.
At the
moment, an abortion is legal up to 24 weeks, but if there are clear medical
implications, a late abortion or ending the life of the newborn is allowed. In
these cases, a law dating from 2007 states that doctors must report them.
Since 2007,
six cases of late abortion and one case where the life of a newborn was ended
have been reported each year.
However,
researchers at the two medical centres have discovered that the number of cases
is much higher, the Telegraaf reports. They estimate there have been 30 late
abortions and 10 cases of ending the life of a newborn a year.
Strict
'We think
doctors are not reporting these cases because the rules governing them are so
strict,' Agnes van der Heide, professor of medical care, told the paper.
The rules
say there must be absolute certainty about the diagnosis and prognosis of the
child for a late abortion. 'But this is extremely difficult based on an echo at
20 weeks,' Van der Heide said.
For the
ending of life, the criteria include unbearable suffering at the moment of
birth, but the life is often ended to prevent unbearable suffering in the
future, she said.
It would
also be good to know what ending of life means exactly. 'It is often the case
that the newborn will die soon and is given medical help to die sooner,' Van
der Heide said.
Lower
The
Christian party ChristenUnie plans to ask health minister Edith Schippers to
refuse this request during parliamentary questions on Tuesday.
They say
the abortion limit should be lowered to 18 weeks. This would return the 20-week
scan to its original intention of planning future treatment if there is a
medical problem.
Schippers
has already written to parliament to say she will respond to the conclusions
and suggestions in the report at the end of the year.

Question: Dear Kryon, thank you for the many communications you have given. They have been enlightening in many ways. I hope this is not a rude question, but it is a subject that I have not seen addressed in the collection of Questions and Answers. I want to know: What is the morality of stopping someone's new life in the physical plane, by abortion? And what is the karma to the person who helps to accomplish an abortion? I think it will depend on when a Human life begins. When life begins is a moment that is very important to those who oppose abortion and those who say it is allowable.
Do you have a decisive response to guide those who receive your words?
Answer: [from Lee Carroll] We have tried to "paint" Kryon into a corner on this many times, since it really is an important issue in our society. Kryon says this: "Human life actually begins when the intent of the entities involved in the planning session is to create it." It's not a biological answer, and it won't please either side.
This places it far before any kind of biological morality decision. Kryon has said that there is no judgement in the choice of Humans... including this one. When it occurs, there is also no horrible karmic payback. But there IS energy created that affects everyone around the event. Sometimes these lives come and go to create lessons for those involved, then these terminated lives return almost immediately, often within the next pregnancy (sometimes changing gender). If there is no next pregnancy, often it's in a very close family group.
God is not in a vacuum concerning these things, and often they are set-ups, and are executed with the agreement of all parties in advance. This is far different than our society wishes to believe. They want to paint a black and white answer to when life occurs, and set rules on what you can and cannot do with it. Instead, Kryon's answer gives honor and validity to the fact that you are not here by accident, and the things that take place in your lives are not random. Not to mention the fact that your free choice is the free choice of God (since you are a piece of God).
So we leave the biological cultural decisions for those who wish to make them, but we have heard the spiritual answers many times... that these things are far more than they appear, and are all part of our spiritual setups, and they are honored.

"... I want to define life for you - not biological life, but spiritual life. So for all those intellectuals, just hold on, for many won't like this. Spiritual life, as measured by Spirit, is when a Human has free choice. When is that? It's when they take their first breath. Not in utero. There will be those who will say, "That's wrong, that's wrong. The soul in the woman's body is alive!" Just wait. I'm talking about spiritually. That which Spirit sees, and it's when you come from the other side of the veil and take your first breath.
A child with the mother has no free choice. That child is linked to the choice of the mother until it is born. It is, indeed, a soul in preparation for free choice, and there are many attributes that are spiritual that we have discussed before about how that soul reacts. But now I'm discussing life with polarity [duality], free choice.
But let's discuss that "child inside" for a moment, for there is a process I want you to know about. I want to talk about 240 days into the pregnancy. At about that time, the child has perfect DNA. It hasn't taken its first breath. The DNA hasn't measured the energy of the planet yet, since it is contained. Did you realize that? Inside the womb is a perfect child. The child's DNA has all the attributes of the Akash and also the parent, but it's different in a way you have not been told. The DNA is 100% as designed.
The quantum instructions within the DNA are all talking to the biology of the child,, getting ready for the first breath. ..."
