Sometimes there simply are no words to express how you feel as you read a news article.

This is one of those times.

AN Indian couple has been charged with the murder of one of their sons after they tried to transfuse his blood into his elder brother to make him smarter.[Emphasis added]

The Indian Express newspaper said the couple were both doctors and the mother had a dream in which a guru advised blood transfusion to make their elder son do better at his studies.

Police said the couple initially claimed the 11-year-old boy was killed in an attack on the family, but later the father confessed.

Seriously, no words, although many come to mind and those I would not insert in a post on this blog.
