Unbelievable...
i came across this web site the other night when I was searching for information on heart transplants for people with Downs Syndrome.
BE WARNED!! The stories are heart breaking, but not for the family, but for the poor baby who was never given a chance!!
It is UNBELIEVABLE that they can do this because the family can't "deal" with their special child. When I first read this story, I went right to the end, and thought the baby had been still born. But NO - she murdered it! Yes, I am calling it that - the baby was 9 MONTHS along!! HELLO!!?!?

she had this to say:
We met and discussed all of the options from surgery, adoption, to comfort care to termination. However, because I was 34 weeks and 5 days pregnant, no termination could be done within our state.
so - they go off to Kansas
Then...
Adoption: How could we do that and always wonder Âdid our child make it? Was our child well-cared for?Â
So, rather than give it a CHANCE to be well cared for , just kill it??
Surgery: Facing a heart transplant or three-open heart surgeries with a transplant down the road. Yet with a child with Down syndrome, how would this be a quality of life? Life is hard enough for them.
hmm...lots of people have surgery - clearly she has NEVER met a person with Down's. I have and I don't think their life is any harder than the average "normal" person.
We considered the effects on our family and our three-year-old. Comfort care: We could not get a straight answer that our wishes would be abided by.
What say do you want to have? You want to kill it anyway!
Termination: How could we, this far along? But this option was the only choice in which we would have a say.
Hey - you want a say? I think all your other choices you had a say!
We watch an introduction video had some group discussion with the doctor and his associate. They explained the reason they do what they do: everybody needs a little help.
Yes - it is good to have help when you are going to perform a murder - then you don't have to take all the blame.
2:10 p.m. April 6, 2005 our son, Joseph, came and went in an instant, taking with him a lifetime of hopes and dreams we had for him. He was born silently and not suffering from his broke heart and abdomen with complications of Down syndrome. We can only describe our feelings as being peaceful, knowing that love was all our baby ever knew.
He wasn't BORN at all! He was MURDERED before he had a chance to live! And "Love was all our baby ever knew" - I don't know about that, how much LOVE is it to not even be given a CHANCE to live!
Okay...enough on this topic now....Please PRAY for thesfamilieses and children and all the future children that might have such a terrible fate as them!

Hey, you have a great blog here! I'm definitely going to bookmark you!
I have a poker hands name site. It pretty much covers poker hands name related stuff.
Come and check it out if you get time :-)
Ugh, this story is horrid. I can't believe they call it a quality of life issue. Who are you to judge another person's quality of life?! I have seen rich, beautiful people who are miserable and hate their lives while people with missing appendages or with nothing to be happy about, actually have a life they say is full of quality.
