[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The discrimination against special needs babies here is expected, but sickening. Look at this little guy, born to a young, healthy couple: http://moreaboutmatthew.blogspot.com/ Look at these beautiful faces: http://www.theidsc.org/ These could be your children, conceived in love, in a marriage. [b]You would discard them in fear[/b]? We have come so far in our treatment of DS. My nephew has exceeded his milestones every step of the way so far, and is so loved. Innocent children come from love and have love to give. If you are not opening your arms in love, OP, then you are not open to having any child, special needs or not. For me, I am 36, and I hope and pray to have more children.[/quote] [b]Actually, I believe people discard them in disgust.[/b] A sense of repulsion overcomes all other senses. Yet, ones logical and rational brains must come up with a reasonable sounding argument, so people say that "the burden will be too great" either financially or physically. This, coming from families who have managed to accomplish what less than 1% of people world-wide have been able to accomplish in their lives; who are by every count the most successful, most highly educated and wealthiest of all living humans on the planet. But, they "can't" handle a simpleton child - heaven forbid, the burden! The challenge! So rich, yet we are emotionally and morally bankrupt. Even the very temporary strain of simply carrying a child to term and handing it over to another loving family to raise, would be too much of an emotional burden. Too much! Instead, sacrifice the baby on the altar of moral impoverishment. [/quote] That's nonsense. People discard them with sadness.[/quote]
