Abortion? Continue? Don't get pregnant? How eh?

Today, we have a very nice session with Prof MS.. And the presenters were GRRREAT! It was actually the most anticipated seminar in my whole life. Well, That sounds like an exaggeration. Anyways, don't make me go to the HOT issue where one of the presenters stammered. Thats a real Laugh-Out-LOud!!

Here, i just want to give my opinion which i should have voiced out in the lecture hall. But, due to bladder problems and extreme coldness, i hold my thoughts.

From my opinion, the action of aborting a child whom screened and suspected to have problem such as down's syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, or any syndrome for that matter... is something wise to do. Yes! The law has clearly described the indications for Abortion, so has the religion (islamic point of view).

They say, if the condition/ problem endangers the mother or if the foetus is severely handicapped, abortion is the resort. Some say, " Ok What if the child is syndromic. He still has the right to breathe in this world".

Definitely he has! But the problem is, what is the point giving them opportunity when the parents and the child, himself would suffer later on?!

I think, mostly it depends on the coping ability of the parents. If the parents are able to look after the kids and fulfill his needs, then there won't be any harm rite? But how about if the parents aren't? If the parents are having financial problems? or maybe Marital problems? How can they cope with the piling pressure.

I know, thats the best for both, the parents and the kid... But its up to you to decide and to think about it.
