would you support the right for parents to legally end the life of children who are proven beyond-a-doubt to be severely, permanentally mentally handicapped; e.g., cannot function on their own, needs help going to the bathroom, cannot be left unsupervised

I deeply sympathize with her burden. I'd support a gov't program to take on this responsibility from her. I just don't see how the individual's right to life is conditional on the degree to which they're a burden to others. I'd like to entertain alternatives before going there.

yeah, a program would be great; but she couldn't get her son into one, iirc there was a waiting list for just 'partial' care and the list was years and kept getting delayed. What would you suggest if a parent doesn't have that option?

That’s a support system failure The correct answer here is not “make it legal for her to kill him”

Iceland would have a talk with you but they are too busy aborting kids who might have Downs.

And you feel compassion for her blaming HER CHILD and not the system that made her life harder. Oh let's just kill people instead making a more compassionate world? Yeah guess throwing away the disabled is easier.

Yes, we desperately need good, state funded disability provision, respite care, and a better foster system. Not the right for parents to murder children they don't want!
-
Fucked up to go for the child murder legal provisions before the disability support provisions.

Oh wow, imagine that. ...Except I can because I live every single one of those things...with the exception of hating my child. Because I am not a monster. I am livid. I can barely type. If you can't imagine having a disabled child, don't have children.

So well said. You are a saint. People are praying for you.

On a serious note, this is the same logic used to put down dogs that are too sick due to age, now being applied to children. I'm perplexed by these results.
