    No.

    People are all okay with it until the disabled child grows up and they have to spend two or three times the amount to tend to that child. And have to pay more. And have to go through so many obstacles just to support and keep that child going.

    Every disabled child I’ve ever seen in my life, whether it’s from down syndrome types to ones stuck in a chair for the rest of their life with abnormalities. I can’t help but feel absolute pity and wonder exactly what they’d be thinking if their brains were normal enough to have them speak. I don’t think they’d be wishing to continue living. They’d either want to die or have a different life where they’re normal like everyone else.

    And I think it’s absolutely cruel for parents to keep them living like that.
