[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But it's also about the baby itself.  THe pain and suffering the baby would experience.  Whatever siblings exist, and the life of those siblings.  The relationship of the parents.  Etc.  It is not about the mother.  And saying it is all about the mother and why can't she just pull herself together just makes it all harder on that person.

Again, you are just looking at the negatives.  Maybe the family would get a lot out of it.  Maybe their lives would be enriched by broadening their world and the circles in which they run. Maybe the siblings would learn that it's not about what you look like, or what you can do, but that it's just about being a human being and doing the best you can up to your own ability.  Maybe the spouses would feel a sense of gratification and love knowing that they have a new child, and shudder to think what life would have been like if they had made the other decision.

Gosh, aren't we the generation who grew up with DS kids on tv, singing "Free to Be You and Me?"  Sounds like all anyone got out of that was "Free to be me. . .everybody else get out of my way."
