It is useful to remember that history is to the nation as memory is to the individual.

And the Down syndrome kids and other kids had been, in some cases, routinely let die, to use the euphemism.

In 1990, when we started the Black Community Crusade for Children, we were always talking about all children, but we paid particular attention to children who were not white, who were poor, who were disabled, and who were the most vulnerable.Parents didn't think their children would live to adulthood, and the children didn't think they were going to live to adulthood. That's when we started our first gun-violence campaign. We've lost 17 times more young black people to gun violence since 1968 than we lost in all the lynching in slavery.

When the death of a disabled infant will lead to the birth of another infant with better prospects of a happy life, the total amount of happiness will be greater if the disabled infant is killed.

Therefore, if killing the hemophiliac infant has no adverse effect on others, it would, according to the total view, be right to kill him.
