Why can't she have that child put to sleep and have another kid that might be a healthy one. Better for everyone including society.

THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!!!!

She probably could of had the baby aborted. But she chose to keep it. What's it to you anyway? How is euthanizing deformed babies better for society? A deformed body doesn't mean a deformed mind. I had a friend who had spinabiffida. That guy kicked azz. Upbeat, smart, guy did karate in a wheelchair. Never wanted anyone to feel pity tor him. Had a job, drove, cooked he could pretty much do everything you or I could as limited as he was. I had more respect for him than a lot if able body people. Sadly he passed away but throughout his trials he never gave in. Do you think we should kill Steven Hawkings because he's now deformed? How is he a detriment to our society? What makes us a society is compassion for those weaker than us. Don't you know anything?

For over 5 years I taught in a school that included a wing for the physically handicapped. Name a physically handicapping condition from muscular dystrophy to spina bifida, from severe burns over the entire body to the point of burned off ears and fingers to skull/facial deformations, and we worked with those kids and loved them. But you just wanna kill 'em.
