How Far Can Man Sink? A must read Article.

Here is a link to an article stating that Palin should have aborted her baby knowing that it had down syndrome.

Some of life´s greatest lessons are taught to us by those that have disabilities.

I would never have abortion myself. One reason I never had many of the test the doctor want to perform while your preg. Why have it, I still have the child no matter what. Just me.

How can anyone say this child doesn't have a right to be born?

Re: How Far Can Man Sink? A must read Article.

Quoted from the article:

"Because a person afflicted with Down syndrome is only capable of being marginally productive (if at all) and requires constant care and supervision, unless a parent enjoys the wealth to provide for the lifetime of assistance that their child will require, they are essentially stranding the cost of their child's life upon others."

The same could be said about all the men/women that break the law and are in prison. They are "stranding the cost of their life upon others" - should we just kill them all to alivate the costs?

Wow! How sad! They never visited Utah Thrift Stores run by the LDS. No I don't agree with their teaching, but they did hire people with Down syndrome and other disabilities.

That is why it is customary to "clear out" nursing homes in some places to make room for others.
