Love them until they die. Thats what a mother is supposed to do. A con is that you probably cant discipline them the way you would do normal kids if they are doing annoying stuff so your anger is cropped up but they probably only do one annoying thing: existing. So I would probably only love them and take care of them. I do understand why others would abort them, but I love my nonexisting children the way white people love their dog: a lot.

>Hell, a few months after Claire was born, I was driving in a Dillon's parking lot on a cold winter day when I spotted some harmless Knights of Columbus workers wearing vests which read, "HELP RETARDED CHILDREN" on the back and collecting money for their organization. You'd shit your pants if you saw how fast I jerked my car into PARK (delaying several cars behind me and coming toward me), hopped out of it, and jump-straddled some poor guy's ass for wearing such an insulting slogan on the back of his vest, as if HE himself was the one who designed the damn thing with hate in his heart. OMG! I shouted, "I AM THE PARENT OF A QUOTE RETARDED CHILD END QUOTE AND I DO NOT APPRECIATE YOU WEARING SUCH AN OUTDATED, RUDE, INAPPROPRIATE VEST!!! The PROPER terminology is 'special needs' these days!!!!!!!!!!!" Dude stood there speechless then said, "I'll pass that on. Thanks." I stormed off, got in my car, parked it, and bawled my eyes out for my sweet Claire, for her disability, for myself, for my family and how CHANGED our lives would now be forever – whether she lived or died. It was so NEW… the "wound" so fresh. THIS KILLED ME. I will say, the next year I saw these guys out again, and they had on new vests which read, "HELP HANDICAPPED CHILDREN." For some reason, that actually felt BETTER to me. I stayed in my car this time and after much deliberation convinced myself I had indeed WON. Yes, I DO have issues. :)

It's not very nice to call your sisters retarded. But these aren't high functioning retarded children. They are vegetables that can't be hurt by words. The mother forced her son into a breakdown for 30 minutes over this?
>Scott and I had a VERY loooooooooong talk about the whole ordeal, what Cal's punishment should be, and why our son would EVER do such a thing. We decided that his punishment would be this: He would have to call each of the other three children involved, apologize for using the word "retard" and explain to them why it is wrong and why no one should ever say it again. Secondly, he would write Scott & me a letter about his own thoughts, feelings and what he had learned – about his sisters, using that word, why it's inappropriate, why he won't do it again, how sorry he is, etc. It needed to be at least one notebook page in length.

>>92307Another story to force some empathy on you
"I'm not a parent, but my second cousin (much older, in his 60's) and his wife have 4 daughters.
Let's call the oldest K. K was born with very severe down syndrome, diabetes and as a celiac. They said she had absolutely no chance of living past 5 years old.
The father is a retired surgeon and the mother was a nurse. She gave up her job at 24, when K was born. She raised 3 other daughters, of which 1 was diabetic as well (she was also a huge problem child. Out of control, really). She gave up her life when K was born. She expected to be back at work within 10 years.
K is 43 this year and still requires full time care. She works at a factory that is specifically for down syndrome people. She has to have her blood tested several times a day, which means that one of her parents has to drive for 30 minutes to check it, then 45 minutes home. She is dropped off and picked up by her parents every day she works. They have to measure every meal she eats with a measuring jug to check ensure she maintains a healthy diet and get up three times a night to check her blood.
As is usual with down syndrome patients, the older she has gotten, the more difficult she is to deal with.
I sat with her mother one night drinking wine, talking to her about it. After a few glasses, she broke down. She never got a chance to live her own life because of K. Not in their wildest dreams did they expect her to live as long as she had.
The mother is a wonderful, kind woman. I've never seen someone with so much love.
She looked at me and said "I wish she'd just die already."

There was a mother there whose daughter was severely mentally and physically retarded; at the age of 7 she was only at the level of a paralyzed toddler with poor prognosis for the future. Apparently she was a semi-perennial patient due to recurrent respiratory and ear infections.
When the doctor asked at the end of the interview if the mother had anything she wanted to tell us (students), she said that if she could go back in time and tell the doctors not to resucitate her baby. She said that she loved her daughter very much (and would to the very end), but the longer she saw her child suffer in such an existence, the more the mother realised that her decision had been unfair to the child.

R's kid: non verbal, never toulet trained, only eats fried chicken, only watches hi-5 DVDs, has destroyed his room (holes in walls, paint peeled off, windows smashed, shelves ripped down, wardrobes ripped out, doors broken)
He'd have fits of screaming and thrashing around so violently you couldn't go near him and by the age of 8 he could overpower his mum easily.

>>92364>>92365>>92368These, for sure. I'm a sibling too, and I can say with certainty having a severely disabled family member changes everyone's life in a very strong and distinctive way. And it affects every family member differently, especially factoring in age/gender/relation to the disabled individual. I would not blame her son at all for any resentment or loneliness he might struggle with.
"Taking care" of kids and adults with severe cognitive and developmental disabilities is a relatively new concept- and still foreign to most people. Titicut Follies was made pretty recently– the late 60's. Group homes still regularly abuse, assault, and neglect disabled people of all ages and backgrounds. It is very, very difficult to find some sort of outside placement for kids and adults who cannot survive by themselves, and things hardly ever improve.
So as a parent it's do or die, basically. For them, and for you in a way, if you are unfortunate enough to experience something like this. From what I've seen here, and after skimming through her blog, it seems like she has chosen to do one of the two most common methods of coping: projecting herself and her wishes onto her children to build her ideal family. The other option (if we are avoiding the "die" route) would be to face reality and allow her children's affliction to overcome her and swallow her entire being, which it seems she has managed to permanently deflect with her "teehee! we're fun! we're great! we're soooo happy!!!" attitude.

the special snowflake mommy bloggers clearly have psych problems that they're projecting onto their children, like Munchausen's by proxy but with social issues. I like the ones that don't have disabled children, but find other ways of having a fucked up family, like the ones that have "transgendered" 5 year olds or this piece of work.

I feel so bad for this family. They're obviously trying so hard to make it all work. They seem like good people, and had these girls been born normal they would have had the greatest mother they could imagine.
She's strong and compassionate, but unfortunately so befuddled by her belief in a patronising god, that she believes he would want her to live a life of suffering. Like this is her cross to bear and god wants her to sufffer. No hun, god wanted you to abort and live a good long life with healthy kids and a happy husband.

this is so depressing
"We were on a trip together, and I was holding her in my arms as I often do. Apparently just the two of us went to run an errand, and while there, I needed to use both hands at the same time. I couldn't do so while also holding Lola, so because there was a counter in front of me, I said, "Miss P, I'm gonna need you to stand up. Put weight on your feet, baby girl. Mama needs to use her other hand." And my girl did JUST THAT. She stood. Her little body unfurled, her back straightened, and she beared weight through her feet. I could not believe what I was seeing. I finished what I had to do, and then on a whim, I decided to try something else…
I gently set my 2 foot tall, 12 pound, 9.5 year old daughter down on the floor next to me, I grabbed her hands, and I watched in awe as she proceeded to take steps. I let go with one hand, and because of how small she was, I bent over at the waist to hold her other hand, and again, she took off walking awkwardly. It was as if she'd been waiting to do so all her life.
Eventually, she let go of my hand entirely. She toddled down the stark, white, relatively empty hallway in front of me, and I literally watched in disbelief as it looked impossible for someone that petite to be walking at all. People all around us were staring with wide eyes. Tears were flowing down my cheeks as I cheered & cried & laughed & couldn't take my eyes off my sweet Lolita.
At one point, she started making clicking/sucking sounds with her mouth, and I realized that she might be hungry or thirsty. A lady nearby offered me a glass of water in a plastic cup with a lid and straw. I told her that Lola was unable to use a straw, but maybe we could take the lid off & I could try to carefully pour the water into her mouth. I was holding the glass with the straw when Lola pulled my hands closer to her mouth & DRANK OUT OF THE STRAW. She then walked off again, this time holding the glass! A few minutes later, I saw her take the lid off & point into the now empty glass to indicate she wanted more. Mind. Officially. Blown.

It was one of those deuces where you almost don't even know where to start… how to proceed to rectum-fy… oops!!!… I mean RECTIFY the situation.
Scott tried to play it off on me, saying, "Since I'm The Shit Whisperer and all, I end up changing WAYYYYY more shitty diapers than you, so I'm just gonna let you handle this one."
I freak out, yelling, "Ummm, heeeeeeeeeeeeell no, get your ass over here & help me! This is wayyyyy more than a one-person job. I need you – right f'ing NOW!!!!!"
He hems & haws, then finally saunters over, sees the wreckage, and I think, fearing for his truck, decides he might want to help me after all. We both aren't sure where to start, Polly Ann is looking innocent as ever, and we're both in a full lather trying to get her disrobed while also maintaining the safety of the truck, its surroundings, my clothes, the seat, the door, the door jam, the floor, and our dung-covered daughter.
My mind is racing… what did she eat different than normal? OK, that would be NOTHING. Is she sick? Ummm, NO. Has she been really fussy? Not a bit. Did she sleep well last night? Ironically, she HAD. Anything different going on whatsoever? ZILCH. What the F is going on then?!??!? FULL MOON!??!?! F'in A.

Everyone fucking knows that disabled people are people too, but these things are equivalent to plants. They can't feel love, care and compassion, they can barely shit and eat.
Kudos to you if you as an example choose to keep a down syndrome baby, and have the money to give it a proper life, that's admirable.
But this, this is just abhorrent. They're like dogs, but more complacent, like dolls, but just a tiny bit more alive. They are only used for sympathy points and the lulz of putting costumes on, since you can't give anything back to them. They aren't disabled, they are no-abled, not really alive.

Most of you people are not parents, and it shows. Lemme tell you something about motherhood….you get what you get, and you don't pitch a fit. Once the baby is out, even if it's the ugliest thing you've ever seen, it will be the most beautiful and loved baby ever, because it's yours. Parents are blind to their own children, which is why most parents think their kids are the most beautiful/intelligent/special snowflake ever.
That being said, I would guess most humans have some kind of disability. Whether is be physical, mental, learning, behavioral, chronic illness, immune problem. It is not up to us to decide who gets to live and who doesn't. I have spent a lot of time in children's hospitals because I have one child who was born with OHVIRA syndrome (google it if you'd like) who also happens to have autism. When I see the moms wheeling their vegetables around, I feel nothing but the greatest sense of compassion. I admire their dedication to their children. And I feel LUCKY. Lucky that my kid ONLY has autism, and ONLY has OHVIRA syndrome. Raising a child with special needs gives you a whole new outlook on life. I'm a better human being and mother for having had the experience.
I do think the parents here are weirdos and attention whores. But these children are here, and short of murdering them, someone has to care for them. I give these people credit for being there and raising these kids despite knowing that they will never have anything resembling a normal life. And I can't fault the kids for being here. The brain is a mystery, and if they can cry, eat (swallow), breath without assistance, and have normal functioning automatic responses (heart beats, lungs work, etc) then they do have some brain tissue. They aren't brain dead. We really don't know what they are experiencing. Maybe they do absorb some of the stimulus they get.
It is not for us to judge who is worthy. There are plenty of neurotypical people in this world who don't deserve to live either (sociopaths and assholes) but we don't go around gunning them down either.

>>105372>neurotypicalYour tumblr is showing. How the hell did you find this place?
Let me tell you something cupcake, I am a parent and I would be damned if I would've done what this woman did. The fact that you're trying to compare your child's autism and OHVIRA to these two is sadly disproportionate. They are basically vegetables and have no indication of even being aware of what's going on around them, let alone have any higher thinking capacity. The worst part of all of this is that this woman was told the high risk factor of passing on this genetic condition and she fucking did it again. Two fucking kids that are little more than moving dolls that eat and shit. It's not even the hardship that the parents are going through that's the issue, what sort of quality of life do these kids have? They feel stimulus sure, like pain and discomfort, hunger and the need to expel. They stare at shiny and colorful things but have no understanding. What do you think is going to happen to them when their parents die? Who the hell is supposed to take care of them? Or will they even live that long? In the meantime they get to live in their discomfort and suffer spasms and seizures. The woman is a selfish cunt who is using her kids' disorders as a means for internet ass pats, period.

>>105470Not who you're replying to but, I wouldn't have had a second one either.
That's what is particularly fucked up about this, to me. The firstborn is normal, the second-born has microcephaly. I'm sure they basically found their world flipped on end and so they learned all about microcephaly, risk factors etc. Soooo after having her second child, she knew the risk factors etc. and I'm sure somewhere someone could've drawn her a Punnett square to give her a visual of the odds of whether additional children would have the same defect. I'm sure doctors told her it was risky business and discouraged her from having another child… but no, she went and had a third child who also has microcephaly.
I totally get that some people don't want to adopt because "not muh blood, can't love it as much/ baby won't look like meeeee", but she basically condemned the youngest child. She knew the risks, gambled, and the child has to pay. It seems like she wanted 2 perma-babies, except normal infants get to experience more in life than these two poor souls. 2 perma-babies you can pose and do photoshoots with… and since they are not able to survive on their own, they can never leave someone's care re: no empty nest for momma. It all just reeks of selfishness… perhaps more than their hands reek of cheese.
Seriously though, if you find out you have risk factors etc. but want to expand your family, just adopt or maybe find a suitable donor without the same risks so 1 parent's genetics are expressed but in a way to lower the risk of such a horrible birth defect.

Though the main argument here isn't whether they are alive or not; it's whether their life is considered a human-like life. The answer is no. They will never have desires or dreams of their own. They live by instinct alone. Because of that, they are indeed at plant level. That's also why we compare them to the brain-dead: because it's the closest a human will come to being a rock.

based on what she's posted on facebook and youtube, it's pretty clear that you're straight up wrong about most of what you said.
yeah, they're likely to be outlived by their folks. and?
the smaller girl is capable of voluntary vocalization and she cries regularly. the bigger girl vocalizes rarely, but she smiles voluntarily. they do have brains, their brains are just very small. they are not suffering; certain expressions and a greater frequency of seizures indicate when they are uncomfortable. the smaller girl has behaviors such as crying and throwing up to communicate when she's upset.
the smaller girl does not have a g-tube. she consumes her food orally. when she's very sick she gets an ng-tube to supplement her food intake.
as for anyone bitching about "exploitation" because a mom is posting like 3 pictures a month of her kids whom she's likely going to outlive: is oversharing on social media seriously a brand new concept for you??? virtually everyone does that. people dress their babies up in stupid, adorable costumes at Halloween all the goddamn time because CUTE. oversharing arguably becomes less appropriate when your kids get older, but
these kids are perpetually babies. they can't contextualize their mom's social media posts the way that, say, their older brother can - which is why his mom keeps it kind of vague when she blogs about how overprotective she is of him, and what not. any of us would play with kids like this in all the ways their folks are playing with them if we were live-in babysitters. its NORMAL. get some perspective. ok BYE

ALL OF YOU ARE ASSHOLES! Every child has the right to live. Life is not a special privlege for the fortunate, the planned, and the perfect. You say these children are like babies. But no one makes comments about how worthless and annoying babies are and they should all be dead. It's true, children with microcephaly have the lowest IQs. But they can tell whether they are dead or alive. They can see. They can hear. They can smell. Touch. Taste. Vegtables cannot do any of those things. And children with microcephaly CAN enjoy music. Maybe not to they same degree as a "normal" person, but they still can. They can smile, and although rare, vocalize. They can be stimulized. They can be aware. They can be amuzed. And even if you refuse to believe this and still think that they are "veggies", you don't have to be so goddamn rude about it. It's one thing to politely say that you would abort them so they wouldn't "suffer". (They're not) But you take it to a whole neww level when you call te girls name like veggies and retarded, bitch about their mom and brother, and talk about wanting to burn them, cut their limbs off, stab them, and put them in animal testing facilities. Some one actually said "I want to experiment on them. Like poke them with needles and see how they react, burn them, cut off a few fingers, sew bits of them to each other. They would be great replacements for animals in cosmetic testing facilities." That is literally the cruelest thing anyone has ever said. I think that the person who wrote that should have their limbs cut off!!!!!!! And, when it all boils down to it, Claire and Lola are both someone else's kids. You have no fucking right to talk about them like that. Why? Because THEY AREN'T YOU'RE KIDS!!!!! So fuck you. And before you start with your bullshit about how I'm one of those old southern religious fuckers, I'm not. I live in New York, I don't go to church, I'm not religious, I'm 25, and I'm bisexual.

Huntingtons disease is a lethal allele but it persists in the genepool because symptoms for it only show up in later stages of people's lives in their 30s-50s.
Still the fact that this chick had 2 mircocephaly kids is remarkably rare, there must be something really wrong with her to allow these real life homunculus to live like this it's no way to live.

I can't look away from this family. It's not just the freak show part, strong as it is. A lot of it is the deranged mother and her proudly stupid, selfish antics. A few things she does, according to her:
- When she spots men volunteering to help disabled children, she stops her car and tears into them because their outfit says "retarded" in a way not intended to be malicious
- When told her young son used the word, she brutally chastises him, making him weep and write a lengthy note begging for forgiveness, despite the fact that these two gremlins have ensured this his own childhood is a fucking mess. The mother browbeats him into giving her consent to post this humiliating episode online
- She writes that it is annoying that people treat the girls like babies because they're actually much older, and that the girls deserve dignity. She then posts dozens of pictures with both girls dressed up in idiotic outfits, as well as a video of the teenage one repeatedly blasting ass.
- She acknowledges that when having the third child, she and her husband knew another deformed child was a distinct possibility, and, even when informed that the child would be like her sister, went on ahead and had it anyway, ensuring millions of dollars of taxpayer dollars down the drain, in addition to her son's childhood.
- An entire post about shitting her own pants. Really, a post about how she, the mother, shit herself.
- She tells people that the girls' affliction is "nothing to be scared of" and that they lead "normal" lives, perhaps convincing someone else out there to have such a baby and sentence themselves to a life of hardship and heartbreak.
And the son, man. Imagine being in his shoes. Every minute of every day, the goblins are there. Making weird sounds, their faces twitching constantly, their bowels randomly voiding. How many times has he changed his teenage sister's diaper? Thousands?
Every family dinner, every fun outing to a restaurant or a zoo, every car ride, every Christmas morning, those things are there. Does that house every have a moment where it doesn't reek of the sweet aroma of human shit? And the mom, not content to ruin the boy's home life, insists that the potatoes be injected into his social life as well. She even makes it so his basketball team has to fist bump them every game, and insists that his pretty girlfriend pose with them like dolls on their prom night.
How fucked up is all of this? And the girls themselves, wow. Does either one have even an iota of what could be considered consciousness? This is no way to make a human being live. If they are conscious in any way, they've known no joy whatsoever. Their life is purely a tribute to their parents' selfishness and vanity, as well as society's idiotic tendencies to mistake masochism for bravery.

>>162761 anon and i have a severely autistic brother but i still find it funny to joke about autism and genetic disorders, I don't find it sickening at all I find it hilarious like a lot of other dark humor and interesting in the scope of human evolution. I'm actually studying biochemistry in the hopes of becoming a pathologist one day.
We really shouldn't feel uncomfortable about joking about disease and taboos because what may be considered taboo this decade will be laughable the next. It's important to be open and down to earth about things like this and not get swept away in emotion because we're afraid of looking "morally questionable". At the end of the day we're just bipedal apes pretending to have a moral high ground ahead of animals.
Of course this woman is selfish, the information is out there open for her to research she probably noticed implications during her pregnancy but ignored them willingly it would be somewhat forgivable if she had only one microphaly kid but the same shit happened twice. The guilt and burden is only on herself and her partner. It's pure selfishness only caring about the survival of her DNA even if it's in the form of weak and malformed mutants.
>>162982I'm so used to seeing fake ass shit this post nearly brings a tear to my eye.
The line has to be drawn when a situation becomes contempt for human life where severely afflicted people with genetic disease who are unable to react to basic stimuli and can barely perform basic living functions without jeopardizing there lives are forcibly thrust into a sad and empty existence.
Really this should be considered a form of passive torture.

Does she want people to sit down and attempt lengthy conversations with people that won't reply?
>And the son, man. Imagine being in his shoes.I feel so bad for him. I know parents with disabled children will often give a little more attention to the kids with disabilities, but this mother takes it to a new level. It's not like the girls just occupy her time, she forces them to occupy his too.

I wonder if these girls are in a sped program at school or something. I remember seeing a documentary on Discovery once about a teenage girl who never aged and was just a babby forever, and looked and functioned as an 18 month old. She went to a sped school and walked assisted and her mum still tried to dress her as a teenager even though there really weren't teenager clothes for her size.
These probably don't go to school or anything. Their life is just all being human props for blog photos and hospital visits probably.
>>164289If they outlive their parents, poor Cal is going to be stuck caring for them.
>>164274The younger one looks like she's in pain constantly, and like she's just so tired of her mom's shit already. Her face is always contorted into some awful shape like you'd see on a normal child that just realised he bumped his head. And she could've been saved from all this. They knew she would be born this way and could have done the humane thing and aborted. The older one just looks blissfully unaware of everything, which is probably for the best. I mean, they're both unaware, but Claire doesn't look like she's hurting nearly as much as Lola does. If there was an argument for euthanising humans, it's these people.
>>164044Just imagine her with her "I need to speak with your manager" haircut giving some poor teenage checkout boy at the supermarket hell because he assumed her girls were toddlers like they look and gave them stickers and balloons instead of flirting with them like the "normal teenage girls" she likes to pretend they are (when it's convenient… when it's not milking their disability for pity points…) That seems like a situation that would go down.

The only thing I can think of in their defense is that they probably never expected that they would live anywhere near this long.

>>164665It's certainly possible that the PT has helped, as the mom claims their vision and mobility have improved over the years. The question is, why bother if the girls have a level of consciousness of termite?
It's highly unlikely that either truly feels what we consider emotions such as love, anger, frustration, fear, joy, or boredom to be. They can respond to some basic stimuli, which certainly mimics emotion, but so can a fly. Why waste tens of thousands of hours on rehab for a potato?
As for the teachers, everyone is different, but from my experiences with special ed. types, most of them probably think the parents are idiots. They see this stuff more than anyone and are often the least sentimental about it. They're being paid by the state or insurance to be there so they do their jobs, but that doesn't mean they can't tell that the Hartley Taters are a huge waste of time and resources.
No. 165092
>>164702Special ed teachers are some of the most bitter people I have ever encountered. My mom worked as an assistant teacher in a special ed classroom for kids with behavioral problems and talking with her and her coworkers is like seeing the reality behind those "my kid is a vegetable but he's okay, really!" Hallmark movies. They all know those kids aren't ever going to live normal lives and the parents are actually the worst part of the job, because none of them want to accept that their kid isn't perfectly ordinary and can't live a perfectly ordinary life.
She had a six year old with serious issues who was attempting suicide–as in, he jumped off rooftops and drank cleaning liquid–and his single father wouldn't take the kid to therapy or give him medication because he was convinced his child was perfectly fine the way he was. The social worker in the classroom had to get custody turned over to the state so they could get the kid into a pediatric psych unit.
So those "four teachers" are probably just doing what they have to, but you can bet that the Hartley vegetables are on that "horror stories from work" list for them. I wonder how quickly they go through teachers.

The mom doesn't work. The dad works as a glassblower, which Google tells us has an average salary of $30k. Even if the dad runs his own business and does really well, no way he is bringing in much more than $40k.
So now they have three kids, including two that are so disabled they are basically just shit and piss factories. So in addition to extremely expensive "therapy" and "education" for two pinheads that can't move more than a few inches or count to two, the state is certainly paying for nearly everything.
Claire Tater and Lola Tater each probably use more healthcare resources in a year than 99% of people will use in their first 50 years. The family's groceries and other household supplies will be heavily subsidized. And, of course, they get tons of free stuff from private donors, from individual White Knights to charities obligated to supply them.
For these things, it is such a profound waste. Neither of them will ever be able to say "thank you" to anyone, or move across a room, or contribute anything to society. Certainly, their lives are a boon to specialty companies that make equipment for the severely disabled, but otherwise, they're a profound drain.
We have a good laugh at their expense, and some would call that cruel, but what's not instantly obvious is that the laughter is really at the parents' expense. The taters not only will never know that anyone laughs at them (other than the parents who seem to do so quite often), they likely can't grasp the concept, or having any feelings about it. It's the parents' insistence that the tard midgets are "normal" girls who are basically just regular people trapped in broken bodies.
And besides, you have to laugh or cry at the truly fucked up shit, so laugh away.

Unless the kid is too old (most places specify that the kid must be <72 hours old), all you have to do is sign some paperwork saying you relinquish custody of the child and then hand it over. The safe haven provider usually has to (try to) contact the other parent, who can request full custody of the child. If they do so, you can be on the hook for child support.

Like, no food, no nothing, and then they just eventually died.
Then they would tell the mother the baby died because of complications.
I thought it was a very humane thing to do, to free the mother from the burden, both physically and emotionally.

That's when I feel a lot of pity. They're being real with their feelings instead of throwing around the words "Blessing!" Or "Miracles from God!!". I find t hard to believe them most of the time, I really do.

>>171196>>171196Problem is, not everyone believes in abortion. I remember this one couple, both super religious Christians. The mom had CF [cystic fibrosis] and needed lungs. She got pregnant despite doctors saying that it was a bad idea. The child has a host of disabilities related to being premature because the mom was dying and she had to deliver or else she would not get lungs in time.
Then the mom had the gall to go back to the hospital years later with her daughter and basically told the doctors that "see??? this wouldn't have happened if I listened to you and aborted my child"
And all this time, the family had to rely on donations from family and the church they belong to in order to pay for transplant and the related costs.
Not only that, but the mom refuses to tell the child that CF is fatal.

I don't know how much suffering she feels.But something must be going on if she looks this uncomfortable in so many pics. It would have been better to just let this child die. It's inhumane. I honestly hope this poor child passes away and doesn't have to endure decades more of this. She's definitely worse off than her sister. And she's so wasted away that she must be extremely fragile.
They're both teens now right? I guess with constant medical care they just keep chugging along. But the money and resources used could go to kids that can have some quality of life. These kids aren't really alive like the rest of us. They are just shells with faces contorted in pain.

>>173384Close. Claire is 14, but Lola is 9. They've both lived way longer than anyone would ever expect though. As far as I can tell there's no life expectancy for microcephaly alone, but given the host of medical issues Claire and Lola have, it's crazy that they've managed this long. You're right. If I found out that I was pregnant with a kid like this I would abort in a heartbeat. This is no sort of life at all.

No. 180038
>>179399Yeah. On her blog she mentioned that their crying could be seizure related.
That said, I think there are two different degrees of crying. The girls don't seem to regularly cry in the traditional sense, like with tears and audible moaning and sobbing.
But when upset or uncomfortable, they do make faces and grunting noises, which is their version of crying. The actual full-on normal crying is rare, and likely seizure related. In the video of Claire "crying," she just suddenly stops and goes back to dead-eyed vegetable mode in a split second, which makes it unlikely that the episode was based on emotional distress.

>>179131she's just moving her mouth, not even in a real eating or sucking motion, and the caption indicates it to be a recently learned behaviour at that time, and she's what there, 6? 8?. so it seems she didn't even suckle as a baby. you don't

Most of those kids wouldn't have lived without extreme measures anyway. You wouldn't let your dog suffer like that. So why do we let humans suffer that way?
Claire may have some degree of awareness. But Lola is completely non-sentient. Imagine having no sense of awareness. Your entire existence is just unending pain.

Most disabled people can still live fulfilling lives. They can work, attend school, make friends, enjoy sports and culture, etc. Even the tards in a severe/profound sped class react when "barney and friends" is put on the television. But these two probably can't even do that, and instead cry and projectile vomit because of innate reflexes or because something in what's left of their brains has short circuited. They just live in pain with significant medical intervention to keep them alive this long, all so their disgusting mother can be famous.

good reason why kids like these should be born and made to survive via tubes in first world countries. They serve no purpose.
