I agree. Talk about a sick mindset, as a society. These folks are heroes in my book. I am also proud of them.
I just watched a program on a set of twins like this in the United States. The two heads (sorry, I don’t know how else to describe it) have separate personalities, and each control their side of their body. None the less, they can use their hands together to do tasks. They each take their separate tests in school. They got individual driver’s licenses when they tested and passed.
The story was quite heartwarming. The other kids at their high school were supportive of them. I couldn’t help being proud of those kids as well.
People talk about diversity, and then do their damnedest to end something like this. Not no, but hell no!
The twins I viewed enriched other people’s lives. How could someone be so shallow as to try to prevent this type of life?
I saw that show too. I was amazed. Sure, it would not be what I’d want to view on an ultrasound. And the children will get screams or sick faces in the public eye, sadly. But in the end, these are people and this is how they are. And I definitely do not think that DOCTORS should be telling these parents to abort.
If it’s because life will be “harder,” where do you draw the line? Life is harder for people with asthma, colorblindness, some minorities, gays, left-handers, and people with unruly curls.
