Groningen U Slogan Should Be “We Kill Babies”
By Wesley J. SmithDoctors at the Groningen University Medical Center commit infanticide. If a baby is born with serious disabilities–and the death doctors conclude they will have an “unlivable life”–the baby’s fate is often to be on the receiving end of a lethal injection.
Doctors there even created a how-to-decide-which-babies-to-kill bureaucratic checklist known as the Groningen Protocol That is why I had to chuckle (bitterly) when a reader sent me a story about how the university’s official slogan has been voted worst in Netherlands.
From the DutchNews.nl story:
Groningen University’s slogan
‘Born leaders reach for infinity’ has been voted most stupid university
catch phrase in the country in an online poll…
In the meantime, according to the Parool
[an Amsterdam-based daily newspaper], Groningen has a new slogan ‘Think
Bold’ which as several people have already pointed out, is not correct
English.
I think official school slogans should be truthful. Thus, I suggest
the following: Groningen University: “Where Disabled Babies Are Sent
Into Eternity.”Nah:
Too clunky.
Best in these kind of things to be simple and to the point: “We kill babies.
