Church Calls for Disabled Babies to be Killed

So being disabled deserves death, and the church agrees.
The gaping whole in this article is this: What do they mean by allowing sick babies to die?
If it's what happened in the Terry Schiavo case, then "letting die" is a euphemism, a nice way of saying, "starve to death."
Guess what? If I, a 29 year old male or you reading this post, don't eat I too will starve to death. And, the only difference between a newborn baby & me, whether we're sick or not, is that I can feed myself & they can't.
What in the world does stage of development, or ability have to do with anything? What stage of development I'm at, or what abilities I have say NOTHING about whether or not I should live.
The answer to whether or not something should live is based on the answer to this question, What's this thing that's being allowed to die / starved to death? Is it an amoeba, a cricket, a hampster, a horse, or a human person at a particular stage of development called newborn? The answer to that question should determine the treatment.
Also, what doctor refuses to treat a sick person? Keep me away from all doctors & Christians that would argue for anything other than helping me get well.
