Professor Says Down Syndrome Babies Should Die

Students who support life were outraged when their biology professor at the University of North Carolina (UNC) said all preborn babies who have been diagnosed with Down syndrome should be aborted.
Professor Albert Harris, who has taught at UNC for 35 years, said he has made the same comment many times in order to spark discussion. Harris told students that aborting a Down syndrome baby is the moral thing to do. However, he would not abort his own disabled child, he told Raleigh’s News & Observer.
I am outraged that a teacher is permitted to teach and promote such a horrible position on abortion. This professor’s comments reflect the thinkings of Adolf Hitler during World War II. It was Hitler that ordered the deaths of all handicapped people. The University of North Carolina should require this professor to step down for his predjudicial and inflammatory comments.
