A couple I know, found out that their unborn child may have Downs Syndrome.

I'd want to have the child even with downs. Know one knows for sure exactley how this person experiences life. It may be quite rewarding and fulfilling for them.

I know people say a lot of things in a joking manner but this is just wrong.

Yes it is just wrong. But is it wrong that I said it, or is it wrong that such a thing is a possibility? or that it's being contemplated in this case?

Don't get mad at me, I never will kill any kids.

I would kill.. I would not choose the puritanical little house on the Montel Oprah option...

Down's people do not have much quality of life. Abortion is a right.

You are quite wrong.

 

[Ashamed]

I am not wrong. You are not wrong. Our opinions just differ. Regardless, you do not have the right to push your moralistic view onto others. Abortion is a basic human right. What a woman does with her body his her business.

 

[beastboy]

HAve I pressed any views? I haven't even mentioned abortion other than stating the partents were thinking about it.

You are WRONG in the statement, "Down's people do not have much quality of life. Abortion is a right."......in whose mind? Yours? Maybe they like their lives...they know no different.

If my fiance got into a wreck and became wheelchair bound, I would not leave her. This type of situation would be out of our control. They DO have the control/option to terminate the baby and try again.

Soooo...You're saying you could still love your girl if she's a drooling vegetable the rest of her life...But, since you can be in "control" during the 1st few weeks/months of the fetus' life, you'd not be able to love a DS child?

Sorry, I can't turn the love button on and off with "controls" and guidelines.

You won't find a Human more full of Love than a Down's child..

 

[PoyeBoy]

its very very hard on the parents, trust me

Besides, if that happened I would carry on being her husband... she had no choice and we are together for better or for worse....

But the child isn't even yet a human being.. much better to try again for a healthy child.
