I would have an abortion if I knew that the baby had severe mental or physical conditions that would make it unable to enjoy life.

I have a genetic disease that was supposed to make my life VERY difficult. If my parents had had you opinion, I wouldn't even be in existence. As it is, the case I have is one of the most mild on record for this disease. If that is the only thing bearing on the decision, then I'd have to go ahead and have the child.

Thanks for your comment. Hearing your story does make me think about my opinion more. I'm so glad that your case is very mild.

Who is anyone to say that a severly mentally or physically handicapped person can't enjoy life? You have no idea what is actually going on in that persons head. Their life may turn out drastically different than yours, but that doesn't mean they won't be happy with it. We as human being do not have the right to put a value on someone elses life. And that includes a fetus.

Yes. If I found out that my child was going to have some kind of deformity or disease then I would just spare him/her the pain and just end their life then.
