” I’ve interviewed for television are emotionally detached or, likely, autistic.”

Interesting. Do you suppose most abortionist are autistic?

“You must think of the child. He will never be able to have a normal quality of life.”

This logic is so twisted. If we followed it to its logical conclusion, then we’d never amputate a limb to save a life. Just let them die. Their quality of life won’t be “normal” so they might as well be dead. Heck, you have macular degeneration? Kill ‘em. Diabetes? Into the gas chamber!

I had a coworker who has no arms. Going to lunch with him was amazing- he could use chopsticks with his toes, or hold a spoon and eat just fine, the man is as flexible as a snake. He even deer hunts- successfully- with a bow... holding the noch of the arrow in his teeth and the bow with his feet. The only thing he does go easy on is he chooses a location where he won’t have to pack out the carcass very far from where he parks his truck.
He also has a great sense of humor, I guess you have to have that.

Hendré is normal for Hendré. A more compassionate doctor would’ve simply advised them about what they were facing and kept his dark thoughts to his dark self.

I had a coworker who was born with no arms, due to a birth defect from that medication they used to give pregnant women to ease pain decades ago. He had no problem doing his job. Going to lunch with him was amazing- he could use chopsticks with his toes, or hold a spoon and eat just fine, the man is as flexible as a snake. He even deer hunts- successfully- with a bow... holding the noch of the arrow in his teeth and the bow with his feet.

He has a massive ego. It goes with the territory. I think they teach arrogance in med school.

“ It would be awesome if Elon Musk helped the kid out with some robotic arms or something...”

I was thing the same thing. With the advances in robotics and prosthetics today by the time he is 10 years old he will probably have arms that function as well or better than normal ones. I’m talking Winter Soldier arms!

Well doc, maybe this person without arms will find a cure for a disease that you or someone in your family may suffer from.

Agree 100%. Back in 1980’s, my family GP said I was faking back pain for drugs. Two years later I had emergency surgery because my left kidney was twice the size due to backflow. Told my Urologist the story & he said he’d willing to back a lawsuit but that wouldn’t have solved anything.

When I hear of similar stories, I tell people that you’re your best doctor & if the one you’re going to can’t help you, go to another one.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuge difference losing a limb than being born without arms. What happens if the parents are not financially sound enough to give this child the support he will need to resemble in the least, a comfortable life??

a lot of people... no, all but one on this thread is right out with the anti abortion no matter what stance. But I align myself with the ethics POV...

It would definitely NOT be a decision I would want to make... But if they new about this within the first trimester which I'm sure they did, I would have chosen ethics...

https://greensboro.com/disabled-student-defies-stereotypes-the-japanese-man-is-teaching-some-important-life-lessons-to-his/article_96fbed11-2cae-5dd6-b3f3-57de3e5d05c2.html

The original story of 2-29-2000 from the AP was entitled:
Limbless college student defies Japan’s notion of disability
The above story was written later but it includes his popularity as a best selling author, “Nobody is Perfect”.
a prime time news anchor and sought after public speaker.

It is so inspiring - he joined the basketball team on his first day of middle school, stunning his parents.

“You alone decide if you are going to be happy”, Ototake said. He has done so much to change the Japanese perception of separate worlds for able bodied and disabled.
