I'm almost coming around on this whole thing in recent years, even though I'm not quite sold on the idea, I feel like SOMEONE has to stand up for the good-hearted people who are too kind to look out for themselves.
Special needs kids (I'm talking about REAL intensive care, like 5 yo minds or completely immobilized) are a HUGE, EXPENSIVE, LABOR-INTENSIVE PROJECT THAT NEVER ENDS. It's easy to coo at the thought of a poor baby being killed off, but nobody ever has that empathy for a 63 year old woman who has to roll out of bed at 3:13 AM because her "miracle baby", now 38 years old, just smashed diarrhea into the carpet of 3 rooms in the house - and nobody in the family or community ever taps in to give her a break from that duty.
That kind of thing is noticeable, too. I keep seeing old, decrepit people who can't even live alone having to cohabitate with tards and cripples to kind of help each other through life, a constant string of injuries, messes, and work that nobody wants to do. They're on 24/7 home-care duty their whole life without end, because the rest of the family wants nothing to do with the hassle.
Which is why I'm not so strident about making sure all our gimpy, unworkable people are brought into the world. Maybe if they're born into a family of 4+ kids, so you know there's a shot it will be cared for by its own, but most of the time it's a lifelong curse set upon a family at the behest of one or two sentimentally-blinded people.
