Sorry, if they were not ready, they shouldn't have been trying to get pregnant.
The child was 21 weeks. That is viable. How do I know this? My sister was born at 23 weeks. She is now a mother herself.
People are acting like bringing a child into the world is only about the child.
If two parents already know they are not emotionally, financially, or physically prepared to care for a child with severe disabilities, that reality doesn’t disappear after birth.
The child’s quality of life matters.
The parents’ quality of life matters too.
Pretending otherwise doesn’t make anyone more compassionate. It just makes the conversation less honest.
