about killing a child at birth or aborting it when you found out that it is handicapped or mentally challenged. I feel that this question is very situational, killing and aborting is of cause the most inhumane thing to do as you violate the child's right to survive however other might say that it "saves" the child a life of misery.

I think a child has a right to live even if it is not going to be comletely normal or be mentally challenged. If your normal child suddenly had a bad accident, illness and was left like that you wouldn't want to kill them, you would contiune to give love, support and every day needs like you would if the child was normal. So to me there is no diffwerence in a child being born like that. At least you would know from the begining how to tackle issuses for your child etc.

I never question abortion as long as it is in the right way. Other people say what is right on that action. My argument is if the child life is not going to be normal it is better to end it early. I would better remove the child while they have no knowledge at all of what is happening than see the child suffer for a longer time. I know people say its a sin to do that but which one would you choose, your guilt or saving one life that you know for sure will not desire something else except dying when they experience that hard life.
