Where is this coming from?  This is where I feel choice comes in.  It would be a horrible decision to make whether to bring a child into the world that would be severely handicapped, or deformed or face a life of severe pain.  If your family faced that decision, I feel terrible for all of you.

 I worked for an Army Officer whose son was born with a brain tumor.  The Drs. recommended that they let his son die, because the future for his son would be terrible.   He made the decision to have the tumor removed, and his son was left severely handicapped, had seizures, could barely walk and did not talk.  The Drs. told him that his son would not live past 2, but he lived to be 24.  I agree that you don't know what you will do untill you are faced with the situation.   I don't think that is what we are debating here.
