Reg Rose of the Anglican Church in Port Perry, and Elizabeth Ful- ford, chairman of the Central Seven Association for the Mentally Retarded, expressed criticism of some aspects of a controversial report prepared for the Anglican Church which called for the killing of severely retarded infants.

The controversy broke last week when daily news- papers started carrying seg- ments of the 15-page report prepared for a discussion at the Anglican Church Synod later this month. The report said 'that an infant © with severe neurological defects may not be human," and then went on to de- scribe humanness as: "The capacity for man to relate to himself, with his neigh- bour and with God." Another portion of the report said "'Our senses and emotions lead us into the grave mistake of treating human looking shapes as if they were human...In fact the only way to treat such defective infants humanely is not to treat them as human...." The report, called Task Force on Human Life, was prepared by 11 people with backgrounds in medicine, theology, nursing and law, and was commissioned at a General Synod meeting two years ago. Central Seven chairman Elizabeth Fulford told Port Perry Star that she person- ally has a lot of respect for the people who prepared the report that deals in part with a topic that few want to discuss. While suggest- ing that the media may have blown the controversy out of proportion, and stres- sing that she was speaking on behalf of herself and not Central Seven as an organ- ization, she said that she cquld not justify in her own mind any decision on who should have 'the right to decide on who lives or dies. She suggested that once an infant is born it is a human being no matter how - - Choir continues severely handicapped mentally or physically.

Mrs. Fulford said she yas not necessarily surprised to learn that afehort had been prepared on such a difficult human and moral topic, but added that some of the ¢om- ments in the report "offen- ded her."

Rose said that several things" could happen to the report when it comes up for discussion later this month in Calgary. It would be adopted, modified or thrown out completely.
