How’s this different from the racial purity slaughterfests of the Nazis?
He should have had her watch a few episodes of ‘Little People Big World’ before carrying out a murder, she may have changed her mind.
What in the hell?
>>”If we didn’t do it and the woman died we would have potentially been charged with manslaughter and gone to jail,” he told the newspaper. “So in a legal sense, you could argue that we were compelled to offer it.”<<
“If the woman died??!!” Is carrying a child suffering from Dwarfism to term lethal? I suspect that they are implying that the woman would have killed herself. If that was the case (i.e. if the woman was able to credibly argue that she intended to commit suicide if forced to carry her baby to term), then the attending physician should have asked her to wait until AFTER the birth to commit suicide.
You think it is hard now, I suspect you might have all eternity to think what you have done....and I dont suspect it will have anything to do with getting a good nights sleep.
I kind of get it about the dying in horrible pain kind of birth defect, but [i]dwarfism[/i]?
Dwarfs can lead nearly normal lives, and even be parents themselves.
I hope someone will ask Matt, Amy, and Zach of “Little People, Big World” about this. During the lead-in to each show, Amy says, “We can do most things average height people can do, we just do them a little differently”, as they show her closing the hatch on their minivan by standing on the bumper.
Dwarfism is certainly no reason to kill someone!
The Matt Roloff family seems to be doing pretty well with their tv show centering on Matt, his wife Amy, and son Zach who happen to be dwarfs. In the shows opening segment, Amy states they are just like everyone else just that they have to do things a little differently.
1. Dwarfism is not a lethal birth defect either to the child or the mother. At least that I’m aware.
2. If there’s a concern that the mother will do harm to herself because of her mental distress, it strikes me (as a layman) that the solution, and the attending physicians’ legal and ethical responsibility, is to treat her mental distress, not to abort the child.
3. Personally, I think getting struck off the Aussie medical register ought to be the least of these ghouls’ problems.
One of the nicest, most productive guys at my office is a “dwarf”, or whatever the term is.

I so wish I could have adopted this child. I am NOT alone.
Oh! Oh! I forgot to include, in my sadness, that I have a friend who had a baby a year ago, and this little boy was diagnosed with unusually short femurs in the 3rd trimester, and they told her that it was a sign he would possibly have dwarfism!! She was sad, and did LOTS of research online. I researched with her.
When her baby was born, he was absolutely beautiful and perfect. Every limb was the right size and is still so, one year later. No sign of dwarfism!! (Of course he would have been perfect as a dwarf too!)
I notice the usual nazi-sympathizers haven’t shown up yet. Maybe it’s still early.
Or maybe even their warped mentalities can’t justify this.
