‘Strongly no’ because we cannot be sure about the state of neither the parents nor their knowledge and capacity to ascertain, adjudicate, and carry out such an act. Such a law would necessitate the jurisdiction of medical experts. If the poll question meant that, then OK.

How often do parents not know their child is disabled before neither abortion nor adoption/state custody are options? I can't find any "cutoff age" for surrendering one's child.

Not sure. But, removing suicide regulation might help the issue if the subject person decides the life is not worth living.

49% voting yes... guess it's not too surprising from the kinds of people who support infanticide.
