You're about to have your first child. You get a test done, and it says that your child will have severe down syndrome. It's still early enough to abort the pregnancy.

Would you abort or not? Why?

Abort, if only to stop one more shitty poster on here

Would.

Why?

Downs syndrome is not the end of the world and it's still possible for the child to lead a fulfilling life, bringing up a child with disabilities can be difficult but it also provides many rewarding moments.

If I wanted a child anyway I would keep it, however, if I was unsure which decision to make it may swing my decision in the other direction.

Tough question to think about, let alone make the decision in real life.

would keep it.

Brutally honest, if my opinion mattered at all, I would abort the shit out of it because i'm selfish and cannot afford (time or emotional strain) a kid with disabilities.

This, albeit small, possibility is one of the (many) reasons I do not want kids. Fuck finding out you've got a disabled kid and your wife/gf saying 'i'm keeping it'.
Long.


No disrespect intended to anyone with a disabled family member/friend.

basically ^

tough one, you cant ask that u kno!

Anyone ever notice wub starts these conversations, but never offers up his opinion to start, or at all...

I'd abort regardless of disability. Too young and got too much to achieve before I have a kid, let alone one with Downs. Thats life over.

Reckon my mum would never talk to me again tho.

Of course. I always assumed these 'icebreaker' type threads was part of his responsibilities as a mod.

Either that or he thrives on conflict and negativity.... I choose to believe the former.

We'd all have nothing to argue about if it wasn't for wub.

gd threds doe

accidental stomp

Keep, get him the services he needs. Might be because both my parents work in mental health tho....

2 yung 4 kidz, kill it

Abort whether healthy or not right now, but yeah, uhh, probably abort.

It wasn't Downs, but a friend had a similar decision to make recently. Can't imagine a worse conversation to have with someone you love.

I'd get my lawyer on the phone immediately, go on a 3 week crystal meth binge and write a groundbreaking debut novel à la Bret Easton Ellis

going bi too?
