    • Got a curious question to ask..

      Suppose you are a girl and you are preganant and the doctor told you that your child is disabled meaning that he/she will be born disabled either physically like being blind etc or mentally disabled.

      What will you do?

      Suppose you are the guy and the doctor tell you and your pregnant wife that your child is disabled meaning that he/she will be born disabled either physically like being blind etc or mentally disabled.

      what will you do or tell your wife to do?

    • man i dont know...

      if the baby is being born, the baby will suffer, and so do the parents... imagine the burden...

      if dont give birth to the baby, it's like killing your own child...

      but bo bian, imo, i'll take option 1. If not both side will suffer..

      sometimes it is not as simple as that..

      whenever I see parents with such children, I often take a closer look at the parents for they really deserved my respect.

      They did not take the easy way out and just try to stay in their hole.
      Instead they bravely took the bold move and embrace life.

      These children also have their own lives and are God's children.

      However, I strongly believe that sometimes, you get a door shut, but you get many windows open.

    • It depends on the medical condition. If this is just an exception and the next one will be healthy…

      i agree.

      i believe that they deserve a chance to live too. its not your right to choose if someone lives or die.

    • Depends. Yes everyone deserves to live. But if you know the child gonna feel constant pain for life till he/she dies, then i rather have he/she abort.

    • Lord of battle I pray on bended knee
      Conquest by the rising sun
      I will wait for thy command with flame and blood at hand
      Glory and a broken sword.

      I am the master of the world I have no fear of man or beast
      Born inside the soul of the world
      Riding hard breaking bone
      With steel and stone
      Eternal might I was born to wield.

      Let us drink to the battles we have lived and we have fought
      Celebrate the pain and havoc we have wrought
      Great heroes charge into the fight
      From the north to the south
      In the black of night

      The clash of honor calls to stand when others fall
      Gods of war feel the power of my sword

      Fierce is my blade fierce is my hate
      Born to die in battle
      I laugh at my fate
      Now pay in blood when your blood has been spilled
      You are never forgiven
      Death is fulfilled !

      The clash of honor calls to stand when others fall
      Gods of war feel the power of my sword

      The clash of honor calls
      I will stand when others fall
      Open magic doors
      The will know the power of my sword

      There is blood in my hands
      There is blood in my eyes
      With blood in my voice
      I scream as you die
      Thirsting for vengeance and mounds of the slain
      Shaking the forest onto the plain

      Fierce is my blade fierce is my hate
      Born to die in battle
      I laugh at my fate
      Now pay in blood when your blood has been spilled
      Youre never forgiven death is fulfilled !

      The clash of honor calls to stand when others fall
      Gods of war feel the power of my sword

    • I hate it when people want to bear the child just because god wants them to. I'm not trying to be against any religions, but come on...During this time it's not about whether everyone deserves to live or whatever..imagine the child, all grown up living in the outside world.

      Do you think the parents can still care for him? And in Singapore it is pretty dumb to keep the disabled baby because he/she will certainly suffer and face unintentional-discrimination...

      Dont keep saying things like oh this baby sure will have other "gifted aspects"...I just doesn't work. Artistic talents etc...it just dont piece together in Singapore's society. And the child will probably hate his/her parents for life.

      It just doesn't make any sense. What's so big a deal about abortion if there is an extremely valid reason to do so?Other than short-term emotional hurt sustained by the mother, there is nothing else! Just have another baby! This solution might seem "wrong" in the believers....but think about it...the emtional-psychological-mental-physical hurt sustained by all sides DWARFS the short term hurt sustained by the couple.

    • Perform euthanasia and abort the abberration. Many people’ll refuse to accept him due to these deficiencies he possesses….
