Bad Decisions from the UN...Again

The Toronto Daily News reported today that, "According to the new UNISEF report, United States and Britain ranked at the bottom of a U.N. survey evaluating the well-being of children in industrialized countries."

The article goes on to say that, "UNICEF ranked 21 industrialized countries in six categories: material well-being, health and safety, education, peer and family relationships, behaviors and risks, and young people’s own subjective sense of well-being."

"The U.S. was last for health and safety, measured by rates of infant mortality, low birth weight, immunization, and deaths from accidents and injuries."

Of the industrialized nations, of which there are around 21, the Netherlands, Finland, and Denmark ranked at the top! But take a look at this article . The Dutch government intends to expand its current euthanasia policy, setting guidelines for when doctors may end the lives of terminally ill newborns with the parents' consent. Somehow, the UN doesn't factor euthanasia into the equation of "well-being".

Just another example of UN incompetency.
