As the mother of a profoundly damaged child, I know what that suffering did to our family. I believe our son, who was the happiest little boy on earth before our daughter was born (his father used to call him "Blithe Spirit," so sunny and carefree was he), was himself permanently and profoundly affected by the experience and what the trauma and the prolonged, desperate and futile, futile, futile efforts to help his poor, afflicted sister did to his family. I believe this because I saw it happen to him. My son has an astonishing memory. He remembers everything in his childhood from the time he was three years old. But there are two missing years. A blank. They are gone, for him. Any attempt to remember them makes him terribly sad, so he keeps that time repressed. I don't judge the decisions of parents faced with such a prospect. Especially if they already have a child, or children, to care for.
