Our contention is that all of the major arguments for abortion are also arguments for permitting infanticide. One cannot distinguish the fetus from the infant in terms of a morally significant intrinsic property, nor are they morally discernible in terms of standing in different relationships to others.

Archives of General Psychiatry, 1959
A particular type of obsession which occurs in women is the fear that they may murder their children. It is usually coupled with an obsessive dread of incipient insanity. These two obsessions complement each other, the patients fearing that ideas of murdering their children must, of necessity, indicate insanity, and that it is the insanity which will ...

Abstract: A case of infanticide committed by a 37‐year‐old married man, the father of three sons, is reported. Clinically depressed since adolescence, and also diagnosed with obsessive‐compulsive disorder and a dependent personality, the subject began to worry about killing someone a decade before the homicide.

Law, Medicine and Health Care, 1986
I agree with Dr. Kuhse and Prof. Singer on many points. It is of course ethically defensible to decide sometimes that a seriously handicapped newborn baby may be better off dead, that medicine can do no more to help, and that to stop or not initiate medical treatment may be the best we can do.

Ageing and Society, 1990
ABSTRACTThis essay considers recent ethical literatures on the question of the direct killing of newborns and of the severely demented elderly. At various points, the arguments in these literatures are brought together for comparison and contrast. Finally, a constructive argument against infanticide and geronticide is developed.

I am, of course, aware that infanticide was accepted and practiced in ancient Greece and Rome, and is still practiced (usually secretly, with winks and nods from public authorities, and with guilty denials by those who perform the killings and those officials who tolerate and sometimes even encourage them) in places like India and China today; just as ...

Utilitas, 2007
It is sometimes suggested that if a moral theory implies that infanticide can sometimes be permissible, that is sufficient to discredit the theory. I argue in this article that the common-sense belief that infanticide is wrong, and perhaps evenworsethan the killing of an adult, is challenged not so much by theoretical considerations as by common-sense ...
