Our obstetrician scheduled an appointment for us with a genetics counsellor, believing that he might have <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beckwith-Wiedemann_syndrome" REL="nofollow">Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome</A>. But I am grateful that no one mentioned the idea of abortion ... though of course we wouldn't have considered such an idea.<BR/><BR/>With our first child we had to insist most energetically to the obstetrician that we did <B>not</B> want an amniocentesis, because it was too risky to the child and because we'd never kill our baby regardless of the results. But we had to assert over and over again that we understood the consequences and still did not want the test.<BR/><BR/>We praise God for Will and the rest of your family, Paul. You all reflect God's grace in many different ways!Tom Geehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15363329987895368813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11006198.post-61677374605381971402008-04-04T08:39:00.000-04:002008-04-04T08:39:00.000-04:00I was talking to my sister about this one time.

Basically the doctors ask whether or not she would like to know if their baby is disabled, implying that the baby could be aborted if it is. My sister always answers, "Disabled or not, it's my baby!"Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16427569414640587844noreply@blogger.com
