I mean I guess it's rational to believe - in the framework of our current hierarchy of human worth and value - that you are not fully human based on the results of an IQ test or a medical examination

I'm not sure there's a way to sidestep this understandable viewpoint without some reference to a higher moral authority

It's unfortunate that liberals don't understand the salience of cases like the Alfie Evans case in that outsourcing the determination of human worth to a faceless bureaucracy makes the fears articulated by Coates even more serious.
