No. This is why advanced medicine goes too far sometimes. What kind of life is this kid going to have outside the family who loves her? And why are our tax dollars going to fund her FOURTEEN surgeries, when there are lots of people who need much less work to contribute much more back to society?
She can't eat on her own. She can't breathe on her own. She is not going to be able to make a valuable contribution to ANYTHING. She is going to need special schools and special permits for EVERYTHING she does, and everywhere she goes people are going to be horrified. I would never want to put that kind of burden on anyone, much less a little kid who thinks she's normal.
A lot of people are going to be offended, but this sickens me. What the hell happened to natural selection? Even 50 years ago, this kid would not have survived. Just because doctors and medicine CAN keep her alive, doesn't mean they should.

Wow.
I'm a /b/tard and that still made me uncomfortable. =\
I watched clouds awobbly from the floor o' that kayak. Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies, an' tho' a cloud's shape nor hue nor size don't stay the same, it's still a cloud an' so is a soul. Who can say where the cloud's blowed from or who the soul'll be 'morrow? Only Sonmi the east an' the west an' the compass an' the atlas, yay, only the atlas o' clouds.

This is my opinion on basically anybody without a chance to make any progress in the world. If you can't eat or breathe without assistance, what good are you to society except leeching off your parent's money?
And there's about a 0.001% chance they cure whatever sickness they have and become a functional member of society. Functional does not mean on par with everybody else, either.

Which is again led back to the discussion of mercy killing which we have discussed so much in law this year. They say beauty is only skin deep but.... well I don't think they specified whether she'll be mentally sufficiant. Either way, ten years from now (or less) most likly someone will make a biography on her life.

W O W. this just makes me think about my 2 twin cousins who are turning 3 about now and also had problems while they were young. They were born 23 weeks premature. At the time, one of them was the youngest person to survive heart surgery, but that was 3 years ago. Just think, it could happen in your family.
