Why is it legal to feed kids to death?

good question! I don't care for that freedom of choice jazz. the issue is the child's health & I keeping waiting to see what has to happen before overweight children becomes an important enough issue for the AMA or any govt agency to address. for example, I think it should be a crime for pregnant women to smoke but so far it's completely legal even with evidence of risks to the baby.

Basic, nutritious, unprocessed food is not expensive. If children go hungry, it is because their lazy parient/s spend money on smokes, booze, drugs and gambling.

if you kill someone yes. why should you get free meals, tv. free education and trading skills while the person you killed has lost rights to anything? and the state pays for everything you get. that's crap.

Yes, with my family on "Honey, we're killing the kids!" We need some healthy living help. And if the food is free, that would help!

Modern American law spends a LOT of time dancing on the head of a pin. There's legal killing, and then there's murder. The girl committed murder. And while the abortionist did essentially the same thing, our society has window-dressed it so that the child is not 'legally' a 'person' until the head pops out. Which is why they are so careful to make sure that doesn't happen. \n\nIt's all just sophistry, and it's not going to fool God. These people WILL answer for their crimes, eventually.

Spiritually it was intended to be that you were obliged to give that child or children the religious education that the parents couldn't should they die.  In today's society, it has come to mean something different, such as taking care of a child or children PERIOD, should something happen to the parents.  It has the connotation of being there for that child, of remaining in that childs life, etc... possibly helping out financially or physically if needed.

A fetus is alive since the minute it is conceived. There for for it is a life at an early stage.  It is not a woman's choice to kill but it is a woman's choice to give that child to a couple who does not have to blessing of conceiving there on child. It is not the fetus(childs)fault so he/she should not pay for this. Now is certain situations where the mother was abused there are many other options for that baby. Every baby has the right to live and no one but God can make that choice.

That it is wrong.\nHistory has already shown us what happens when this is allowed--suddenly it not just the terminally ill but every "Undesirable" human that someone playing "God" determines should die. (See Nazi's)\n\nThat brings me to the real point--only God decides when one dies.\n\nExample: would you want someone to decide that your baby who may have been born with a birth defect should be killed instead of doctors trying to save it?\n\nThat is just one of the many dilemas which we as a society would face if the practice of Euthanasia was ever embraced.

There no law about it. You do it if you can afford it. I guess your desire to celebrate the birth of a child is only normal, right? And the slaughtering of a goat or cow is done on everyday basis, right? The reason for Aqiqah is basically to buy a goat,  and feast with your neighbours or even given to the poor. Its not a must, just a celebration. Of course centuries ago, people dont call the catering service to have a feast, they would have a sheep or a cow to prepare for a feast. People now just follow traditions.

Even if it is illegal, you have to get caught feeding the animals before you can get charged...\n\nI don't get laws like that... We may not be allowed to directly feed animals, but we are allowed to indirectly feed them with our thrown out garbage.

state some facts like the amount of innocent people put to death. the biases that the courts have in handing out death sentences(race, etc...)Playing god. morality of it\nI feel its done to save money. ...easier to kill someone than to pay to keep them in jail the rest of their lives.

Hunting or fishing to provide food for my family is a great way to embrace the ways of old. Also, it is the best thing to see my childs stomach full because of it.   As far as a human - If my country sent me to war, if I caught someone in my home showing intent to harm my child you bet your sweet ass I would take another humans life. Other than that, the answer is no.

If there is more than one child involved or if they are a repeat offender, then the death penalty.  And I'm serious.  There isn't a cure for this sickness.  They shouldn't be allowed to continue to ruin children's lives/futures.

If it's 1 child, it's because there are 2 many people and too little money and food resources to feed so many. With no population control policies the government would have a disaster to manage

Yep, I think there should be a law that if you are guilty of aggravated assault on a child under 10 you should get the death penalty.  It seems like other crimes ie murder, drug etc under specific circumstantces I could be capable of these things, and I think I am a reasonable human being but child molestation? I don't have in me to do that. People that do are special type a of deviant. Some will say that they can't help it or that its similar to homosexuality, meaning that it was considered against nature until recently and that people can not help who they are 'attracted' to. But this is bulls hit; children will never have the mental matureness to consent to sex. Adults do. They have free will and should make appropriate decisions.  Castration is an option but there are plenty of ways to violate a child without a penis. Life terms, what's the point, just wasting money, and rehibilatation does not seem to work. I wish everyone would stop being so PC and bending over backwards protecting the civil rights of criminals. As a society we need to protect our weakest members. A day doesn't pass by that I don't read about a child molestation somewhere in America, the more we hear about it the more normal it seems and this is a dangerous place to be as a 'civilized' nation.

Yes, for 2 reasons - they made their choice when they took a life & why should we as taxpayers pay to fed, clothe, educate & guard life sentence criminals.\nIn our state it is rarely given - must be cruel - like all murder is not cruel. Murderers forfeit their right to live.\nMy brother was murdered while buying a gallon of milk during robbery. They got the death penalty but it was overturned & they get out this year his 3 children are not even out of college yet. They grew up without him.
