Should the Baby Live? The Problem of Handicapped Infants is a 1985 book by the philosophers Peter Singer and Helga Kuhse, in which the authors examine moral issues surrounding babies born with disabilities, and argue for infanticide in certain cases. [1] [2] [3] Most disability rights activists and disability studies scholars consider the book to be sanitized hate speech and advocacy for genocide. [ citation needed ]
