Fears of surrogacy ban as WA couple rejects baby, page-8

" I can say with absolute surety that I would not adopt a baby with down's."

Neither would most people, but in this case, they weren't ADOPTING, it was THEIR child,

this is a case of using a surrogate mother, NOT adoption.


"And what of the sister, no praise for bringing her home to a loving family?"

What an idealistic statement. What loving family would split twins up?

If I remember correctly, Hitler wanted to create the perfect race. What sort of a world do we live when we can shun

THOSE WITH AN IMPAIRMENT OR DASABILITY?

This was their own child, and is not acceptable.

Wouldn't get away with such behaviour in Australia, at least I hope not.

Heard a lot of stories where people say that children with D/S are an absolute joy!

" I am guessing arriving at the conclusion they did was an extremely heart wrenching decision that they probably agonised over for weeks.":

You are just guessing, and they actually wanted the 'mother' to have an abortion.

Loving family, I must be missing something here.

"Some people are not willing to give up their own personal or professional goals for this full time, life long job.".

See so many stories of people uprooting their whole lives to care for someone that has a disability

as the result of an accident, but this pair can't be bothered.

A fund has been started to care for this young child, I'd be making sure that this 'loving family'

was making a sizeable contribution, if nothing else, after all, this is 'THEIR' designer baby.

Messing with mother nature and procreation should be banned.

There are more than enough children in the world, available for adoption,

without allowing surrogacy and IVP.

Pathetic actions by this 'couple from Australia'.

Loving family ??? DON'T THINK SO, haven't seen one sign of love here.
