Okay, I'm not going to act all crazy and have a go at you because I don't know you- but this is a very worrying question.
You shouldn't kill a child, under any circumstance. You're supoosed to love your child, no matter if they are born with difficulties or no difficulties. Being born with a problem isn't uncommon, it just doesn't happen to loads of people at one time. If you're worried there may be a problem before you have a kid, because of a faulty gene or someone in your family has something wrong, you could always have a test done.

Are you crazy first of all maybe your a new parent and don't know how to deal with this so I'll give you a little bit of pity but you can kill a child just cause they have issues maybe give them up for adoption or give it to a person who can handle it because you don't know how lucky you are just to have a kid do you know how many women would give up they're left arm just to have a baby so stop talking like that, not every baby is the same those "issue" is what make them unique and special there is no such thing as prefect child but if you keep talking like that they might be better off without you

This is a tough answer to give, but here it goes...
My wife was pregnant with our first child and everything was going fine. Then one night, my wife tells me something is wrong and we need to get to the hospital.
3 hours later, our daughter was born. .722 pounds 33cm. She gave birth at 22 weeks. Our daughter was immediately lifeflighted to another hospital with a neonatal ICU.
Our child was born with class 4 hemmoraging on the left side of her brain and class 3 on the right.
She stayed in the neonatal ICU for several days while we had multiple specialists evaulate her condition and we were told the bad news. Our daughter's severely damaged brain will not recover. She will never develop mentally, nor will she have have physical control of her body, she will be bound to machinery her whole life.
We were also told the only option if we chose to continue to let her live would be to turn her over to the state because long term care would be over a billion dollars. Insurance caps at 2mil.
Source(s): he wife and I had to come to a descision, and didn't have much time to contemplate. On day 5, we gave permission to pull life support. We did becuase the events our daughter experienced over the last 5 days was the only life she had to look forward to for the rest of her life, then she had lived her life to its fullest. Hopefully, she understands how difficult it was for us to let her go, and agrees she is better off for it. This all happened the week of christmas and we will forever be affected. Some day, I will have to tell our daughter she was suppossed to have an older sister...but not for a while. - SLv 75 years ago
No. If you get caught and go to jail you would be at the very bottom of the food chain since people in prison don't like child killers. Even if there were no legal consequences I would never kill my own child.

First of all it's a crime to kill another human being. Second of all if you have the gull to ask such a question then you don't have much of a heart. Third, if you have a child with problems you should man up and take responsibility. It's your child .

Ok, I'm hoping you mean would you abort if you knew the baby was going to be born "wrong". Because it's illegal to murder a child no matter the problem. If you have a child born with problems that you can't handle, the adopt them to someone who can.

I would never kill, abort, or hurt my kids. If I don't want children that I conceive, I put them up for adoption. Other couples who cannot conceive want children, and I want to gift them with something they wanted to have for so long.
All children deserve to live. Their lives shouldn't be cut short. If you don't want a child, there are Safe Haven laws and you can put them up for adoption!

You are one of the following if you're asking for advice about this:
1) Not a parent.
2) Very mentally sick and should not have or never ever even think about having children
