I would abort, no questions asked. Too many kids born with severe disabilites say things to the effect of "I would have asked to be aborted if I had the chance."
I carry a Tay Sachs gene. If my husband carried the same our child would be born with it. It's a horrible and dibilitating diease and the children born with it rarely live to 2. If one of the prenatal tests indicated Tay Sachs I would be scheduling an abortion immediately.
I admire people who have the dedication to raise such children, but it breaks my heart to see some people with great minds imprisoned and frustrated by their bodies, or people who will never even know their name. I just don't have the emotional strength for it.
