Abstract
Every participant in the Hastings Center conference emphasized that more must be done for severely impaired infants who are kept alive but will never be able to function normally in society. The tendency to warehouse those with severe handicaps in underfunded and outdated public or private institutions was condemned. Arras stated his belief that putting defective infants out of sight little more ethical than allowing them to die. Several speakers pointed out that adoption is often an unexplored option for handicapped infants; for example a number of couples sought to adopt Baby Doe up until the infants death. (excerpt)
