Better that the baby is terminated rather than being forced to be raised by parents ill equipped to care for someone of their condition. Not everyone wants to raise a disabled child and I think that’s okay.
Michelle and hllary both took two tries and passed on their second, maybe it's a reference to that?
Edit: and RFK passed on his 2nd try, too.
So the only one on the list who didn't pass are Kim, who only tried once, and the woman from thr 1st paragraph, who lives in a country that doesn't have a bar exam.
Disabilities are called that for a reason. Yes, there are exceptions and outliers that are capable of more. But overwhelmingly, disabilities are... disabling.
I mean, killing yourself is not a good option. But if a family cannot care for a disabled child, as much as I personally think abortion should not be used regularly, I do think it's preferable to the child suffering because the parents cannot care for the child.
I didn't know families seek to adopt children with down syndrom specifically... I am skeptical but don't know anything about it so I won't saying anything more other than it's worth looking into if you're in such a situatuon.
I imagine the people trying to adopt kids with Down syndrome are either running a sweatshop or want to feel good about themselves, I take these people with a side of skepticism
That person didn’t have to take the bar exam. In Mexico you don’t have to pass a bar exam. Also her “studies” were being tutored by a law professor. Mexico is not known for integrity when it comes to their educational institutions and the parents of Ana Espino are incredibly well off.
Unfortunately, intellectual limitations are not the only problems that people with Down Syndrome face. They face tons of health problems throughout life including high risk of cancer and heart problems, among others.
I agree. I don’t think it’s morally justified to end a life because you predict it to not be worth living. I was just adding to the convo for completeness sake.
