It may seem a little strange but the only thing I want is healthy kids. There's so many arguments and things to think about over this subject, and I've been through them all since I was a kid myself.
What if one if my unborn kids is known to have some crippling or mental disease? I couldn't possibly get rid of it, not if it was one of my own, but I don't want to raise a kid with the extra problem those kind of things can bring about.
It sounds really harsh, I know, but I don't think I could care for a kid day after day, year after year, for the rest of my and their lives. I want to be able to everything a normal dad does with his kids, to play games and teach them wise stuff they'll always think off and say "my dad taught me that".
But if my kid can't even remeber who I am, can't even speak to me and tell me anything, or me him, I just couldn't cope.
I was wondering whether parents with kids with these conditions, down to behavoirial problem meaning they'll always act liek kids, really do manage. Do they always think that it could have been so different, it could have been better than it is?
Or do they have so much love for the own child they overlook the condition or disease and just look with love.
I'm just not sure I could, and it scares me a little that I could be so cold and harsh. Please don't accuse me of being 'disablilty-ist' or whatever it is, Im not.
I'm just considering my own feelings when faced with the problem with my own kids, the people I've created.
I just really think i couldn't cope, I want healthy kids, and it's the only thing that worries me.
I know the odds of something like this happening are so slim, its really not likely to happen. But they're still there, and it still could happen.
I don't think I could give up my life, my jobs, my friends, to spend my days looking after my child who can't do anything for themselves.
It probably sounds really selfish and inconsiderate.
But it scares me.
Cheers,
FFF
Sorry if I got all confused, I wrote it on the spot. And I've got myself all worried.
Ok, so if you're getting bullied, or something similar, and you're wanting to end it all, then fair enough, but you've got to keep in mind that people such as your friends and family will just wonder why - and who knows? You might end up having a great life as time goes by and you leave the situation you are in, and move on to better things.
But if you're physically disabled, and you can't do anything with your life, then suicide, or in more extreme cases, assisted suicide should be allowed - many people would rather just end their life than sit in pain and agony for year upon year not really doing much.
Diane Pretty was refused assisted suicide, wrongfully - she should've been allowed to end her life. There was no way that she could go on. It's just stupid that she was refused at court. I know if I was in that state I'd want to just finish off with my life, and not sit, completely motionless and destroyed - I just couldn't live.
You can just throw it away if it is not what you want.
Should count yourself lucky enough with what you have.
This isn't the fly.
I just hope that by the time I have children, such deformaties are a thing of the past, along with cancer, heart disease and male balding.
