When I was little I had foot problems and was told I would never ice skate or snow ski ski.
I played hockey in my teens and just stopped snow skiing because of a bum knee.
Never believe anyone who tells you you can’t.
These poor kids didn’t even get to try.
While the child is in utero the parents often want to see it as “perfect” and nothing less will do. Sometimes it’s not the parents fault but the medical community pushing them to abort if the child is less than perfect.
Down syndrome is the one they fear the most but I’ve heard of babies being aborted because they had cleft lip which is fixed by surgery that no one bats an eye these days.
