MEDICAL KILLING OF UNNAMED CHILD
|Government of India is proposing to amend the MTP Act 1972. The existing law allows to terminate pregnancy up to 20 weeks. This is proposed to be extended up to 24 weeks. At present only a registered medical practitioner specialised in gynecology is allowed to do the termination. As per this amendment, Homeo, Ayurveda and Unani practitioners and midwives are also become competent to do the termination.
While the medical community in general is against this amendment, politicians of various parties are suspecting monitory corruption behind this amendment proposal.
Whatever may be the proposal and the outcome of it, the primary intention of this is to check population growth. Here comes the very important question. Should we commit murders to check population growth? As this unborn baby has no name, not found in any government or social records and not even the member of its own family, is it fair to kill the child for any reason whatsoever? The child can not appeal to its own mother for mercy as she herself signs the black warrant. But, the killers should not forget the fact that the painful cry of the child will reach the Creator who will not show any mercy to the killers especially the mother. They will be asked to pay for the unpardonable crime in this life itself.
I would like to appeal, therefore, to all human beings on this earth that they must rise to the occasion to protest against termination of pregnancy by any one and at any time. We have many other alternatives to prevent population growth.
