If the child is destined to die, it ought to die with a mother and father who love it and will mourn over it’s death.
That’s the issue, they don’t want to see the kid or the diagnosis doesn’t fit their lifestyle.
Thankfully the wife and I have not had to deal with anything like this with our kids; I couldn’t imagine the pain and suffering of bearing a kid you know will go before you, but I’d at least want to hold my child.
