Actually, I don't think so.  [b]I think you have reached a couple people who have heard the words "there is a trisomy on chromosome [13, 18].  The condition is incompatible with life.  You will probably lose the baby sometime in the second or third trimester.  If the baby reaches term, it will probably be still born.  If it is born, it will have multiple defects and will die shortly after birth of organ failure.  If the baby doesn't immediately die of organ failure, s/he will need at least a dozen surgeries immediately to correct [holes in his/her heart, bone, ...].  The baby will have decreased immunity, so s/he can't play with your other children.  S/he will have learning disabilities and will never  [walk, talk, eat or breathe on his/her own].  Even with the surgeries and the best medicine we have, the baby will probably die before his/her fourth birthday, because that is the longest any child with this condition has ever lived."

Thank you PP for clarifying this and giving this discussion something to think about.
There are conditions that are treatable and then there are others where your child will be lucky to live a few days, weeks or months. Oh and for other conditions it will be a life in and out of the hospital poked and prodded to death, with gatrointestinal tubes,tracheotomy and or breathing tubes and then endure constant infections. A life full of misery. Sorry faced with that horrible outcome I would rather not bring a life into this world that will no nothing more than suffering. I think that's selfish. [/quote]
