It sounds like she's also overcome her inferiority complex. God help the child who actually is born to these self-obsessed twits. They should just buy china dolls and set them up around the house, and rent a young looking adult to go to special events with them. She'd have a script and sit in the corner, except to come up every so often and say, "Gee, Mom, I want to be just like you when I grow up!" Then, they could drop her off at the acting agency, and never screw up a real child's life.
Estimates suggest 40 million people died as a result of banning DDT!
It was used here in Ireland years ago - it was even used in homes - I don't see any side affects!
I didn't realize malaria was a problem in Ireland. Bill did the "Environmental Science" merit badge at Boy Scout camp last month, and the materials mentioned "Silent Spring," so we've been talking about this stuff at home the last few weeks.
We're emphasizing the difference between sensible conservation - don't kill too many deer at a time, don't litter, reduce pollution if reasonable, etc. - and Environmentalism as a religion, in which tradeoffs and consequences don't matter.
There wasn't, it was just used as a general pesticide.

Enviromentalism and eugenics seem to be inextricably linked, you often hear enviro-wackos wailing about 'over-population'.
It makes sense, I guess - the enviromentalist movenment seem to regard Humanity as a cancer on Mother Earth, so I suppose a far smaller population of enlightened 'ubermensch' would suit them just fine!
Methinks this couple should not be having children.
Sick. Very, very sick. And society has been there before in the 20th century--in Europe, it led to a horrific outcome.
As long as it includes them, personally. Environmentalists never seem to think *they* are a cancer on the earth, just other people. "Just enough of me - way too much of you," as P.J. O'Rourke put it.
LOL!! There's always some unheard quote from P.J.!
Nah, the cruelty would be burdening the child with such self-centered snob parents.
He's the source of many a great aphorism :-).
I agree!!
I also like his Swedish sounding name...
;)
I was shocked a dew years ago when a Baptist church goer told me the baby they were expecting was checked out and didn't have Downs, so they didn't have to abort it.
The way they said it it was obvious they'd have no problem killing the child if it didn't fit their description of normal.
I also know two people with children with Downs. Both say their children are the greatest blessing a person could have.

:-). So many Scandinavians are named Patrick Joseph O'Rourke!
O'Rourke is a common name around Scania!! ;)
Well, yeah. You could have tried having a kid a few years ago, when you, young lady, were less likely to have one with birth defects. Or would that have [bleep]ed up your career path?
There are entirely too many stupid creeps walking the earth.
Sadly, abortion is seen by many as just another form of birth control or, as in this case, eugenics. Shades of Nazi Germany!
i know several parents of disabled children; all consider their kids absolute blessings and actually would not change them (beyond helping them reach their potential) for the world.
One of my little boys has a "sacral dimple." The condition can be merely cosmetic, as in his case, or in severe cases can be linked to Spina Bifida. I often wonder whether sacral dimples would cause prenatal tests for neural tube defects to come back elevated...and if so, whether some people end up aborting their babies as a result. So very sad.
What a sad and disgusting example of humanity this creature is, but attitudes like this were the inevitable outcome of the pro-abortion movement. She's simply sickening enough to vocalize the kind of thing so many abortion advocates feel.
