If you found out something was wrong with your child premature to birth, would you keep it?

If you found out something was wrong with your child premature to birth, would you keep it? Like its spine was developing outside its correct spot, or brain not near fully mature for it age, or even financial support, would you keep it and risk the chances? Or derminate it then and there?

    No qn ... keep it. A life is still a life. Many disabled people still lead happy normal lives.

    Edit: To bluearrowil - no one said life is easy for anyone whether disabled or not ... you make the best of what youve been given .. death is the easy way out..

    that's a really hard q. I've had friends who've had to make this decision & have chosen different options. Friend#1 decided not to keep hers. She was a single mum & already had another child, so was afraid that her oldest child would suffer coz of the attention the unborn child would need for the rest of it's life, so she terminated her pregnancy. Friend#2 went full term with her pregnancy, only for the child to die shortly after childbirth. She's now too afraid to fall pregnant again in case it happens again. Friend #3 kept her child. It was her first. She has no other children & she says she would love to have another child.

  • I would honestly abort the birth if it didn't have a beating heart. Life is hard enough for normal people, and 100000 times more difficult for those at a physical/mental disadvantage. I believe I would be doing him/her a favor.
