i sympathize with your position but realistically a very small percentage of adults in todays day and age would have the guts to take that step, even when realizing its necessary. the average person today is not the average spartan from 2000 years ago.
I think most people just do what needs to be done when they are in the situation. That isn't something difficult to do. Infanticide is much more common than society wants to admit. Most children with down syndrome don't survive the first 12 month. I saw some severe cases who made it because the mothers wanted them to live and other more mild cases unexpectedly dying, the parents moving on. SIDS is mostly heart defects but the rest is infanticide. Post partum turns her crazy, high serotonin and she kills the baby.
The biggest problem I see is that euthanasia has been turned into a commodity. We will see the definition of terminally ill child going really broad and fuzzy really quickly and the next organ harvesting scandal has been just started. Also these things can take some really unexpected turns. Like this super hot teen who demanded to be euthanized because she was raped and suffered from depression and every feminist was cheering he on in order to "stick it to the man". The euthanasia laws were passed to give relief to old people in pain mostly from cancer but then a new clientele discovered this "service".
