I hope this vibrant child never knows her parents were going to kill her in the womb if they had know of her sleep apnea, good thing they didn't consider she would need assistance going to the bathroom if they could manufacturer toilets that small or that she would need assistance eating and have to be feed and quite possibly burped as well.
Perhaps for the greater good this vibrant child should be adopted by a family who would love her even if she were to snore in her sleep as she grew up. And the parent's could donate their "brains" to science to try and answer the question, "Why are people so stupid?"
The parents aren't stupid. They're worse than that. They are cruel and heartless. That's why they were so eager to give away their daughter's heart--they don't have one of their own.
If CPS doesn't take the child away from them, we should pray that they wake up and repent.
If they feel that way about it, why don’t they donate of their own hearts.
That poor child, having evil parents like this.
I’m without words. People like that deserve to be punched.
Looks like they didn’t like the model they got...being defective and all. Maybe “Mommy” can open her legs and pop out another “better” baby.
Sick, just sick!!
****************
This is sickening. Poor baby!
Praying that our Lord looks after this little one and keeps her in His care.

Parents Seeking Fourth-trimester Abortion.
There are no words for this really. Just sickening.
Sick effers. That is the nicest thing I can say.

One can ask a legitimate question in this case.
Was the parent’s primary concern the risk of the child not surviving, or the cost for her to continue to defy her ailment?
Maybe, within that answer lies some portion of why majorities of Canadians support their socialized medicine.
They wanted their baby to die because of APNEA?!?!?!
Heaven forbid these Nazis ever find out that most of my family has apnea in some form, they’ll be demanding we be killed to put an end to our “suffering”.

Significant new information has been forthcoming in recent decades on sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and apnea during early infancy.1–8 This statement focuses on the epidemiologic aspects of SIDS, the lack of a proven association between episodic apnea and SIDS, strategies for prevention of SIDS, and appropriate use of home cardiorespiratory monitoring.
Apnea monitors were first introduced in the mid-1960s for the management of apnea of prematurity in hospital settings.9 Subsequently, cardiorespiratory monitoring has become widely used in the care of infants with a variety of acute and chronic disorders.
The hypothesis that apnea is the pathophysiologic precursor to SIDS was first proposed in 1972.10 Apnea documented by cardiorespiratory monitoring during prolonged hospitalizations was reported for 2 infants, both of whom were siblings of 3 infants who had died suddenly at home. Both siblings subsequently died unexpectedly after discharge from the hospital. More than 2 decades later, evidence of infanticide for all 5 infants in the original report became known. The apnea theory never has been proven despite extensive independent research in the several decades after that report.1–5 Nevertheless, the home cardiorespiratory monitoring industry, fueled by increasing demand from parents concerned about the risk of SIDS, rapidly developed products aimed at preventing SIDS.11 Despite the absence of a scientific foundation or evidence of efficacy,12,13 home cardiorespiratory monitoring continues to be a common practice in this country.
The American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Infant and Preschool Child in 1975 recommended that home monitoring to prevent SIDS should be limited to ongoing research studies.14 Subsequently, in the early 1980s a Task Force on Prolonged Infantile Apnea was formed to evaluate the evidence for the theory that apnea is a precursor to SIDS. It concluded in a 1985 statement that "a causal relationship between prolonged apnea and SIDS has not been established."15 The recommendations left the use of home cardiorespiratory monitoring in individual situations to physician judgment.
The costs of home monitoring are substantial. In 1999, 44% of 26 000 infants weighing 501 to 1500 g at birth and cared for in 325 neonatal units within the Vermont Oxford Network were discharged from the hospital on monitors.16 A conservative estimate of the annual cost of monitoring preterm infants weighing less than 1500 g in the United States is $24 million, and this projection does not include physician fees, repeat pneumograms or sleep studies, other ancillary medical costs, or the costs of other populations of infants who are monitored. In this context, the question of efficacy of home monitoring becomes even more important.
