It is at once sad to see such a special needs child yet a joy when it enlarges the heart of others to care for those less able than them. If all the world were healthy then I think we would be shallow.
However, the healthy or abort value system in this case, or used to get compensation for a errant test - as they said they would have aborted the child if the test came back accurate - is contrary to the above ethos.
And which raises the cost of health care for all, as the Valley Medical Center insurance will pay for most of this i assume.
It certainly is expensive to raise a a special needs, beyond the normal cost, but 50 mil seems like a lot. Not aborting in this case certainly provided economic security, though perhaps an appeal will lessen the amount.
And i am sure Valley Medical Center will rethink what manner of assurance it provides for its tests. And it ought to state that defects should not be used as a cause for abortion. To willfully take innocent life is the Creator's prerogative, not ours.

this is not going to end well. These parents do not deserve to be called parents, asserting that they wish they had aborted this poor child.
Pigs! I hope they repent of their craven hard heartedness.

You can always tell what kind of people you're dealing with by the way they react to the difficult situations in life.
Some folks would pray to God for guidance.
These people hire an army of lawyers.

Well said.
That ‘baby’ is NOTHING but a Cash Cow to them. Disgusting!
I’ll adopt! Send the baby to me!

Why didn’t they just kill him as soon as they found out he was disabled? If they were so eager to kill him, whether he is inside or outside the womb should not make a difference.

The money the won will likely not be a blessing. GREED has a way of destroying lives and souls.

We'll then. These parents-of-the-decade should unburden themselves and send their "son" and the $50 million to an organization that will service his needs for his life.
Any chances that happens?

It will be interesting to see how 50 mil ruins their lives and those of their attorneys, who are now fat cats.

First off, this case might win its appeal. LabCorp ran the test, but they cannot predict the mosaicism that seems to have occurred here. They can only test the cells they had for testing. I see no evidence of any mistake.
Also, unless these parents are sickos from hell (and it looks like they could be), in a year and a half they will withdraw their suit as they fall in love with their precious baby and won’t be fighting for his death. As they go from treatment to treatment, their hearts will swell like the Grinch’s as they see children with greater disabilities and the families that treasure them.
Right now they are just idiots that don’t know anything about life. There are risks. There are secrets: it isn’t all about money or perfect bodies or intelligence. They are in for some major growth.
