Overwhelmingly, parents of disabled kids are glad they have them. Unconditional love is the greatest gift provided to parents and it is just that, unconditional. It is the most perfect type of love. It's exactly the type of love God has for us. No matter what we do, no matter how hard we fail in life, God loves us unconditionally anyway.
There are too many occasions to count where a test proved to be wrong. I have friends that had a child that was tested to have a genetic defect. They went full speed ahead anyway. The baby was born perfectly healthy. Imagine if they had aborted?
It is the responsibility of the parents to help them endure the burden they are born with.
Also, predictions are sometimes false. I was born at 6 months, 1 pound, 4.5 ounces, and expected to either die or end up disabled. I don't even have to wear glasses, they were so wrong.
I have siblings that are disabled and I can tell you, life finds a way to be lived. Robbed of things we would consider vital, but still, a valid life.
With the things, I see every day I wish it was different, but I would never forfeit a life as you suggest.
Did you ever stop to consider that;
God uses our children as teaching moments for us. Perhaps someone needs a huge dose of humility, another might need empathy, another to soften their heart and look to God rather than the world, yet another to learn to be caring and compassionate toward others or less self serving or greedy.
Can confirm. Have learned more from my children than from my parents. In fact, I learned more about being like Christ from being a parent for six months than from being a dedicated, full-time missionary preaching the Gospel for two years.
What about horrible birth defects? Why make a child go through life that way?

Like neurofibromatosis, what I have. Fuck you, I'm still fine despite what eugenicists like you say, that's why.
