Assuming the US has a population of 300 million and the wealth it now owns, should a baby born with no arms and no legs, (with no chance of being fixed), but otherwise healthy, be kept alive and healthy by the government if no one else will do it?

Yes.

If you answered yes to that question, my second question postulates that ten percent of all children are all of a sudden born that way. Same answer? If so what would the percentage have to be for you to change your answer?

Whatever the percentage is where it becomes impossible to take care of these children. In that case, government should help the maximum that it is capable of helping, choosing by lottery if necessary.
