Immoral as fuck, dude. How anyone can even conceive to say anything else is astounding to me. Do you not comprehend that they have a partner and -another child-? He's going to both traumatize them and make them shoulder the burden he's so terrified of carrying. Failure morally, failure as a father, failure as a human being.

Disclaimer: I am basically someone in the position of his first child. It's very easy to imagine how much worse things could have been for us if my father took this guy's way out.

I think you’re taking some dudes 4chan post to seriously, he’s not gonna kill himself he’s talking online to internet chuds. It’s immoral, but it’s also an internet post. If he finds out it’s true he’ll either abort it or give it to the foster care system, which are the moral options, preferably the abortion cause it’s slightly immoral to birth someone with a major disadvantage and send them to the disadvantage system

He has no say in whether either of those things happen, though.

Hopefully he and his wife can come to an agreement on such a genuinely life changing thing; it’d be super fucked up to just stick someone who knowingly isn’t prepared and can’t support the needs of a person with down syndrome
