Wow. What a sad story.
I knew a family whose baby was born with no brain, just a stem. After a few months, the baby's eyes were infected and had to be surgically removed.
Imagine... an infant that made no sound, no movement, no nothing. Just a pooping, breathing piece of meat. I helped babysit one night so the parents could get out of the house for a few hours, and I never did it again. It was just horrible and creepy. And they had to live with it 24/7 for almost 18 months before she finally died.
Very sad.
I bet a lot of these defects and other problems are the result of a) drugs and b) lack of sufficent prenatal care. that's sad that a child was born like that (no brain). Such a shocking horrible circumstance I would think that God took the poor child's soul home before it was born, and that in that case it would be preferable to let nature take its course. other than that no...
Civilized societies do not kill human beings based on the judgment of others that they are nothing more than a pooping meat slab.
Shame on you for letting your discomfort and creepy feelings take such a high priority.
18 months is not bad when you consider eternity for killing the baby.
