Much like a momma dog that has a litter of pups, and refuses to nurse the runt of that litter.

I am speechless. You talk of your father, but I don't know if you have any children. Do you? And if so, did you throw away the runt?

In the sixties, my Mom was a public health nurse, in Lafayette, La. She organized clinics for the docs who flew in from New Orleans to evaluate kids in the area. Most of the time, the docs would be at my home before they took a flight out, for take in suppers.

Once, at the table there was a doc who would soon be honored for his innovative surgical procedure for closing holes in newborns hearts. I will always remember this arrogant ass saying "yes, I will be in the medical journals, but the parents will not like the side affects of brain damage in my surgery. If it were my child, I would just abort, legal or not".

Well, guess what? He did perfect his technique. But, what this mini-god surgeon did not know was that technology would eliminate the brain damage during his surgery.
