But there is the world outside as well and if he could have an easier life then Id love that chance. Ive also seen this article on cnn few weeks back, it seems credible<BR/>Happy Holidays and I love your new car, it's gorgeous !!<BR/>Molly, BCMonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02922257732910859792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14133024.post-32370117314287752162008-12-03T22:40:00.000-08:002008-12-03T22:40:00.000-08:00Okay, here's what I think: I love Cooper exactly a...Okay, here's what I think: I love Cooper exactly as he is. That said, I would do anything to make his life easier. Right now, he's only had a few years to get behind, but I know that gap will continue to widen. If I had the ability to narrow that gap, I definitely would. That said, what bothers me about this article is the last little bit, where the guy talks about how this treatment would be particularly beneficial for "those families who are not willing to consider abortion as an option." HELLO? So, if I can't wrap my head around aborting my non-perfect baby I can at least hope he'll be more normal. Um, seriously. And this is coming from a very pro-choice mama here. I'm going to give dude the benefit of the doubt and hope that he's been spending too much time on the microscope and has forgotten that we aren't idiots for not chosing to abort our babies. Phew.

What makes a person who they are is so complicated and messy..... Who's to say what's perfect and what's not? Personally, I happen to think that my son is perfect in every way. But once I step outside my front door, I am painfully aware that not many others share that opinion.<BR/>Big Stuff.....Cadence and her family live inhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13265026190885629873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14133024.post-11978574944124710892008-12-03T12:13:00.000-08:002008-12-03T12:13:00.000-08:00I definitely understand the "mixed feelings!" We ...I definitely understand the "mixed feelings!" We love our little ones just the way they are, and I even believe that God may create them the way they are for His purpose! But, at the same time, if this "therapy" could save some babies from termination . . . or if it could help with some of the physical symptoms like heart defects, or even help with cognitive development so kids would be better able to reach their full potential . . . it may be worth it. We'll have to wait and see what the risks/side-effects are first, though! I join you in the "mixed feelings" category!Amy and Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06647576561731415317noreply@blogger.com
