[quote=Anonymous]11:31 here.  Let me clarify.

1.  I must apologize.  I think any of us that receives such bad news can have the martyr badge.  I do not expect anyone else to choose the same way I did.  I do expect those who do choose to go through to also respect my decision.  I feel like the OP expected me to act like her sister.  And more frustrating is the former presidential candidate Rick Santorum, whose youngest is T18, and he does act like a martyr that expects all to follow his lead.  sorry to confuse the two.

2.  I actually count my blessings that we didn't  have a diagnosis of a condition that was, for lack of a better term, "compatible with life.". It would have been a tougher decision.  This baby actually had a sex chromo anomaly as well.  Had the baby just had that, or t21 or sb, I am not sure what I would have done.  It very likely DH and I would have disagreed.

3.  The ability to terminate needs to stay legal just because of the distinctions in para 2 unless we want to get on the slippery slopemof having the law, and not medicine, define the difference between what is and what isn't compatible with life.  This is where a doctor and a patient are the best to assess what is right.[/quote]
