Depends on the disability.
I could probably most likely afford to take care of one of the "simpler" disabilities like deafness, blindness, or lack of mobility.
But if they had Downs, noticable retardation, or severe to mid autism? I don't think I have the money, patience, or time to deal or take care of him/her.
If they were deformed, well so be it. If it's not affecting their behavior, health, hygiene, or intelligence, why should I care if they're defomed or not?
I'll probably get a lot of flak for this but oh well. Might change my mind when I actually want to have kids. Or probably not.
Another thing too, I hate when people criticize people for aborting their kids if they find out they have XXX. So what?
You're not going to be living with this child, so you have Monday on my life.
For example, when people say "She also aborted her kid because she found out it has Downs!!1!"
And then attack anyone who says it's not exactly a bad thing.

I'd be doing it a favor, I'd feel sad over it but at least it wouldn't be living in a world of struggle and misery.

No. 35794
>>35793But you see, you said the right thing. With medical care.
On a personal note, I can barely afford my own, so why would I keep them? And I would imagine it would be ALOT of care to keep them alive, and the chances of them living initially are pretty dim.
I would also feel bad after giving birth and hearing them cry. Crying not because that's what babies sometimes do when they are born, but most likely crying out of pain and being born.
No. 35803
>>35729It's sad but disabled people are just not meant to have a good quality of life. Sure there are few that can adapt in the world, but they'll never be normal. It's just biology and having a disabled kid is a failure and people need to get screened more when they are pregnant to determine this.

>>35803>Having a disabled child means your life becomes nothing but caring for that child forever.Exactly. And it pushes that burden onto other people once you've died. If you have a disabled kid and you already have, or have a normal kid in the future you've just fucked their life up as well. For the longest time, my life plan solely consisted of killing myself, because I didn't want to have that life.
>>35804>Being born ill\retarded isn't tragic or unfair , it's just lucky to be born healthy.But most of these people are not healthy. The problems that make the intellectually impaired also impair or deform them in other ways. I can't think of a single disability that doesn't have an set of associated problems, which the person usually dies from. Down syndrome people usually die from heart or kidney problems, they have high blood pressure and extreme difficulty loosing weight. Even relatively normal autistic kids have horrendously painful stomach issues.

If I discovered it was going to be disabled during the gestation period I would abort.
If I discovered it was disabled after birth I would release my parental rights.
I know a woman, a friend of my mother, who decided not to abort her daughter when doctors discovered that she was missing half of her brain. There's no real name for the condition, her brain just didn't form one half of itself for some reason, and the result today is that she's 24 years old and has the mental age of a 3 month old baby.
All she can do is shit, eat and cry.
She can't speak, she can't walk, she sleeps in a crib with a baby monitor and is confined to a wheelchair where she sits placidly, her head lolling and her eyes staring blankly.
A lot of people think hr mother is "noble" for deciding not to abort but honestly, I think she's bound by her sentiments and emotions, and that she made a stupid mistake. The toll that her disabled daughter has had on her has aged at least 20 years and she pretty much ruined her life the moment she decided to keep her.
There's no reward in keeping a child that. You will never, ever get anything back out of it for all your effort and sacrifice.
The saddest bit is that you can tell that her daughter would have been very beautiful if she hadn't been born a tard.
Actually the saddest bit is that her only other child, her perfectly, healthy, functional younger daughter, died in a car crash last year.
When we heard the news that her "daughter" had died we initially said "Oh dear, what a shame, but we all knew this day would come eventually, after all she is severely disabled".
Then we found out it was the other daughter. Damn.

>>35824To build on anon's first comment, my aunt and uncle had only one son and he was born heavily autistic. My uncle was upset, but my aunt took care of literally almost all the work so my uncle was whatever. A few years ago my aunt passed away and my uncle became so bitter so fast. Not only did he lose his wife, but now he had to take care of an adult with a child's brain that he honestly probably never loved.
I seriously have not seen or heard from them once since my aunt passed away.
On a similar topic, I always remember hearing one story about my cousin when he was 16 or 17 (before my aunt died) where he had somehow recently learned about masturbation and they couldn't get him to stop. He'd start doing it at home, at school, in the car, once at the grocery store and I have literally never been so disgusted in my life. This was my absolute turning point for losing all hope or tolerance for retards. I would never ever keep a child like that, it would be gone with no second thought.

>retardation of any kindAutomatic abortion. I don't think it's ethical to let a human slowly suffer and not live a full life. Worse yet, place that burden onto the state or someone else if and when you cannot take care of the retarded child/adult.
My adult cousin lived to be 45 with Down's Syndrome. He was a three year old in a man's 6'5 body, and my aunt refused to give him to the state. So my aunt and uncle raised him all his life. He could do basic functions (ride a tricycle), but he wasn't toilet trained very well and he didn't know how to prepare meals. He'd rage on his parents, giving them both black eyes and bruises, and do other crazy shit like eat raw meat from the fridge if he got hungry. Whenever I'd visit I'd have to be careful about my body movement, speech, and eye contact because he was capable of attacking people if he got angry at them.
But at least they loved him. I do think my cousin did have a concept of 'love' towards his parents. After both died, he died not too shortly after while in state care. It's sad though to think of the suffering those people went through for essentially no real purpose. I like to think what their lives would have been like without my cousin, but then again, it was a different time. Abortion was unheard of and preliminary testing for chromosomal problems was nonexistent. Can't blame em for doing their best with their situation.
No. 37120
>>35561I remember looking up kids like that because I was curious about how the parents handle it. There are entire websites dedicated to families who chose to bring hopeless pregnancies to term rather than abort even though their child is often horrifically deformed and retarded and may not even live a few minutes.
The anencephaly babies are the ones that really get me. There's no way to them to survive and they look like nightmares brought into reality. Why put yourself through that when you can try again for a healthy child? At best they might live a few months or maybe a year as complete vegetables with a festering wound where their brain should be.
The kid in the video looks like they might be suffering from a milder form of anencephaly. By mild I mean the skull is at least closed up. but the poor kid is basically brainless with just the brainstem to perform reflexive functions.
If you look at the video Lola loves to eat, notice the sucking reflex she has for being fed with a spoon? It's totally reflexive. It's only there because mammals are preprogrammed to do that. It's the same as a cat or a dog or a little mouse. It's just reptilian brain function.
If I was pregnant with a badly deformed or disabled baby I would abort. I just can't handle taking care of it. And I think it's cruel to let kids like the ones in those videos be born.
No. 37127
>>37107I feel horrible for saying that I'd abort a fetus with a severe retardation like down's syndrome, but you listed the exact reasons why I would do so. I used to go to school to a place that had a school for kids and teens with down's syndrome and other mental retardation and they required constant caretaking and watching over, had to be pampered around the clock, they couldn't function in any normal way. I don't think it's ethical to give someone a life where they're basically babies for tens of years with a lot of health issues (people with downs usually have a heart condition and other things) and possible pain just because the parents didn't want to have an abortion. And if they had siblings, all the time would go into taking care of the one child and leaving the others to the side.
My friend had a little brother that had severe autism to the point they couldn't talk at age 8 and only communicated with roars and groans, had violent episodes and other things. I simply couldn't take care of a person like that, but of course autism doesn't really show up in preliminary tests. But severe deformations where the baby will probably live up to 5 years at tops and requires constant surgeries and hospital visits and all of their actions rely only on primal reflexes? Why would you want to expose a human life to something like that?

You can also read the story of Baby K:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_KNo pictures. But it was a famous case of an anecephalic baby who's mother insisted upon keeping her alive despite the situation being hopeless. Many people thought it was inhumane and doctors refused life sustaining treatments because the condition is not reversible or really even treatable. You're just doomed to a vegetative state with minor reflexes like sucking until you finally stop breathing. While the parts of the brain that control breathing and heartbeat automatically are there they don't work very well without the missing parts of the brain. So eventually the baby just dies.
The organs are usually well developed though. Some people have suggested using anecephalic babies as organ donors. But it gets into moral issues because while they'd be best used before the baby dies some people think it's cruel and violates the sanctity of life.

No. 37954
>>37803Autistic spectrum-diagnosed anon here (formerly "Asperger syndrome" before it all got lumped into "autism spectrum disorder"). The idea that autistic people "have no empathy" is definitely not universally true. Some of them are lacking in what's called "theory of mind" and struggle to put themselves in other people's shoes, but others actually experience an overwhelming amount of empathy, so much that it's painful/hard to know how to deal with.
Oh, and for the record, I fully admit that I'm a fuckup and should have been aborted, but too late for that, eh? I'm "high-functioning" (so many people would jump down my throat for using that term, but I don't know how else to describe it), but impaired in some regards, and I wish my parents had had the chance to have a normal child instead of one with problems. At least I'm independent enough that I don't need them to wipe my ass for me. I'm definitely not having any kids, and, even if I did want kids, I'd abort if I knew my child was going to have a problem that would severely impact their quality of life. And yeah, quality of life is somewhat debatable when it comes to things like "high-functioning" autism, but when your kid's missing half their brain or something and you decide to carry them to term and pretend like they're a miraculous gift from god…ehhhhh…no. That seems like selfishness on the part of the parent.

But this thread isn't for that, because I'm sure you can't outright tell if a kid is going to develop a cancer in the womb.
And no, this thread isn't full of 2edgy anons, they just don't feel that people with disabilities that would most likely leech off of the system useful, and I honestly feel the same. Or they just don't have the time/patience/love to take care of them.
Lastly, some people get abused by disabled family members (doesn't even have to be a family member, I recall some scenarios where the handler wasn't watching them, and then they attacked other people.) themselves. You can say they don't know any better until your face turns blue, but I hate it when I hear stories where the disabled child was beating/threatening/attacking the other children(usually younger), and didn't get any repercussion because they ~know no better~ and we should ~stop being mean to them~. That type of bullshittery you know? I'm not subjecting my normal kids to that.
Only thing stopping me from abortions are pointy shit going up into my vagina.

>>37205The personifying stuff just makes me sad tbh. My mom's coworker has a daughter that is 16 and practically a vegetable. She can't talk, can barely maintain eye contact with the family, but the mom always insists that "Oh, she just LOVES Disney!" or "Cinderella is her favorite princess!"
It's like they want to make themselves feel like their child is capable of normal thought.

>>38022Why shouldn't I? And no, some kids aren't ~retarded~ under 6. I know many not intelligent, but smart ass 3-5 year olds. I probably have the patience for that, as I know how typical kids are already, but honestly if you're above 8 or 10 and I have to care for you like a baby and witness meltdowns? Nope. Can't do it. Won't do it, because I'm not going to jail when I could have aborted it or have it up.
I may or may not have children, I may just adopt, but only time will tell.

>>35594I relate to this a lot. Except I don't have anyone pressuring me into that shit, thankfully.
Had a nightmare in which I was heavily pregnant and it was amongst the most horrifying things I have ever dreamt. In the dream I could think of nothing else but cutting myself open, stabbing myself,…It felt so real that when I woke up I was covered in cold sweat and the sense of relief was intense.
Yeah, not gonna have children. The fact that I have a uterus is unsettling enough, to be quite honest.

Abort or not?

>>38075He's cute now.
He's not going to be cute when he's 20 years old and still can't talk and throws tantrums.

>>38324He'll probably be much better at sign language at that point since he seems to have the capacity to learn. Even if that's not the case, there's no reason why he can't have a good quality of life with some assistance. He's hardly a vegetable and obviously doesn't have severe retardation.
I wouldn't abort if I knew my microcephalic baby would turn out like him, but unfortunately idk if there's any way to tell before they're born.
