[quote=Anonymous]I was jarred by the "not-human" language, too, but I don't think you should read too much into it. I think that poster was in a horrible situation, struggling with a difficult decision, and was looking for a rhetorical argument to offer to support her very reasonable decision to terminate. Having a kid with T18, assuming the child even survives the pregnancy, is beyond a challenge, both for the child and the family. Of course a child with a chromosomal abnormality is human, very much so. I'm sure that poster did not mean to offend, and probably would take back those words with respect to any child who was born. I know this is DCUM but please let's be kind to one another and assume the best, rather than the worst, motivations.[/quote]
