I wholeheartedly agree with jkgrandma.  In fact, she's described my feelings perfectly.

I'm THRILLED that Shiloh's family made the choice that was right for them and are thriving with it, but I, personally, would not want to bring such an irrevocably disabled child into the world.  How could I know that after we [her parents] were gone, she'd be adequately cared for--and loved?  What if it turned out that the child could NOT function at as high a level as Shiloh? What if s/he needed 24/7 medical care and support--and we couldn't provide it?

No, I think there are too many variables in terms of what MIGHT happen after birth to knowingly bring a child like that into the world.

By the way, I describe myself as "pro-choice" but do not believe in abortion as birth control, or abortion past the point of viability, etc.  And I was faced with an unwanted pregnancy myself--and CHOSE not to abort it.  So hold the lectures about how heartless I must be!
