See how easy it is to answer a question rather than evading it, Greg??? I said nothing about my personal joy so you are the one making stuff up, as usual " I am not in favor of culling humans through abortion at any stage of development for any reason, but a clear danger to the life of the mother. A handicapped child can, and does bring as much joy as so called normal children Remember, this discussion started by asking you to assume the woman's role, and to share your personal opinions as regards a Tay-Sachs embryo .Message 15954637 "Pretend you are a woman, 8 weeks pregnant; you have a CVS done, and you are told that the baby will be born with Tay-Sachs as it lacks an essential enzyme. It will be blind and paralyzed shortly after birth, and will live about 3 years with periodic fits of epilepsy twisting and wracking its tiny body into spasms. Would you act to prevent this primeval organism from experiencing this senseless and tragic suffering and pain?? I am just curious as to what makes you tick."WOULD NOT get any JOY from carrying the embryo to term and birthing it. I don't mind you trying out different answers until you get one right. So what WOULD you get out of that? Why WOULD you cause this suffering for another, that was in your power to avoid? Do you wish to withdraw the "JOY" remark? So why would you do such a thing?Children who are also physically or mentally disabled are first and foremost CHILDREN, they happen to have certain handicaps and for that, you would kill them Message 15956015 siliconinvestor.com but do absolutely nothing else . I cannot accept your answer. You cannot mean what you said.
