BittyBiddy Thank you, Parents stunt child growth part 2

the parents provide more confort to the child

At first when I read about what the parents had done, I was horrified. But then I read their reasoning and I can't really argue with it. If the "child" had any self awareness I might have more of a problem with it. But, from what I read, she has very minimal awareness of anything. The reason the parents chose to do this was so they could continue to care for her at home and not have to move her into a long term care facility. I think if the choices are having a uterus or living at home with people who care about you, you can have the uterus. I know some won't agree, but I think the parents were acting in the best interest of the "child", even though it was a drastic choice.

After finding and reading the story that the parents posted, I have a different opinion, I feel that the parents did what was best to provide more comfort for her.

I want to thank you and BittyBiddy, you both did avery good job at defending those parents. As a mother of a son with CP, I don't know that I would have taken that step, but I had never been given a choice like that. It is hard to decide what to do with these children, we get older and they do nothing but get bigger and most of the time have more problems. Like said before, my son is 12 and is 130 lbs., he is 4' 8". I can totally se where theyare coming from. I just want to thank all the people that responded to you with kind words and understanding. It is easy to judge, but notso easy to put yourself in their place, because it is not a normal situation. Thanks again!!!!

I suport you 100%, parents know how to treat with their child and what to do for whom at right time. Taking care of a disable child is too labourious job. I am helping some mother have disable child and know what they are doing for their child. God bless and give more strength to all mother who have disable child.

I wont judge them. They are parents and I'm sure they feel in their heart that this is the best thing for them. We can't judge and we shouldn't point fingers. I agree with you 100%.

Yes, I agree with that. My heart goes out for them too.

This is a hard one to answer unless you are in that situation yourself. However, if a child can survive this kind of life, then shouldn't they at least have the chance to develop, even if its in size as well as mentally. They showed a child on tv who had the same condition and he didn't walk until he was 8 and although he has severe learning difficulties he is still an individual who may through medical science develop even further. I know many parents who have children with severe disabilities and special needs and it is a thankless task, but I am sure if they were given the oppotunity to make their child's life better they would. Although would it be by changing the very thing that has kept their child alive? Many parents fear what will happen to their children once they are gone, but that shouldn't deny the child the oppotunity to maybe one day develop. I don't see the point in letting a child survive if there is no hope for them to maybe one day have the right medical assistance or technology to develop, but at the same time take away what would naturally happen to them whatever their disability. I personally feel that they have taken their childs rights away from them by deciding their child's fate. It's hard as I am not in their shoes, but however I do find it unethical. Thats just my opinion and I have to respect the parents as well as you can see they love their child and think they are doing the best for their child. I am sure this will upset many people who are disabled and parents of disabled children. I will be interested in reading the responses you recieve. It is a very difficult subject to put into words without trying to offend anyone.

well thats very great of those whoever do that for their own ones... they should expect nothing from humans but from God who knows about our hearts...

well thats very very great and generous of those whoever do that for their own ones.......they should expect nothing from humans but should from God who knows about our hearts and deeds...
